HID, LPS, and preheat fluorescents forever!!!!!!
|
After looking for a way to import Japanese market lamps to any country in the world, I finally found a couple of websites where you can directly buy some Japanese market light bulbs and get them delivered to any country outside of Japan. Those websites include buyee.jp and www.jauce.com. I was able to get my large Japanese market CFL lamps by having jauce ship them to the USA. I really encourage you to try these sites because they are some of the only ways in which you can obtain Japanese market light bulbs. However, you will need to learn some Japanese lamp nomenclature if you are truly interested in trying to obtain some Japanese market lamps since many lamps that are sold and marketed in Japan are not usually found anywhere else outside of Japan and some have unique designs that you cannot find on other lamps in most countries. If you try searching for lamps using English terms, you will unfortunately get lots of lamps, ballasts and fixtures that are designed for the North American market. To help you find some Japanese market lamps more easily, here is a Panasonic catalog that lists many lamps designed for the Japanese market: https://panasonic.jp/catalog/ctlg/lamp/lamp.pdf

I believe Amazon Japan now ships internationally for some items including some lamps. The search is a bit hard if you search using English. Using the lamp model names works a lot better.

From my experience, Jauce seems to be able to send lamps, ballasts, and fixtures even if the sellers do not ship internationally. In addition, the Yahoo auction website on Jauce might be your best bet if you are searching for vintage NOS Japanese lamps, ballasts, and fixtures.

Somewhere There Is Light(ning)

Would be cool to get some Japan fluorescents because I know there's some cool/interesting stuff from pic's that have been posted on LG. With the cost of shipping large objects (4' fluorescent tubes for example) It wouldn't be worth it.

I appreciate your opinion. I personally find lots of joy importing foreign lamps especially if they are unique. In some cases, I believe that the high shipping costs are worth it if I can afford them. In addition, I also like showing lamps that have not been shown on LG before too such as my 3 foot long FPR96 CFL lamps being lit up.

According to the subtotal Amazon Japan gave me, a FL20 costs around ~$20 for the lamp and $20 for shipping to Canada. A bit expensive but the lamp is a bit unique as the length is short than a F20.

I also found that Japan also has some non integrated bullet CFL lamps and non-integrated globe CFL lamps too with G10Q 4 pin bases.

A couple of times I used the Japanese website www.buyee.jp. They offer a forwarding service, where you can buy from almost anywhere in Japan and have the lamps delivered to their site, where they then forward to other countries. It is a good service, you can even combine multiple items from different sellers and they will re-pack them into a single box to save on overseas shipping.

这个网站他会限制代理访问,之前我在中国用得好好的,但是去年被中国政府GFWed了,然后普通的VPN也访问不了,必须原生IP才可以访问 Added translation: He will restrict proxy access to this website. I used it well in China before, but it was GFWed by the Chinese government last year, and then ordinary VPN can't access it, only native IP can be accessed.

中文:是吗?我还真不知道。但是另外一个Jauce网站可以直接访问(我试过了,反应挺快)。 English:Yeah? I really do not know. But another Jauce website can be accessed directly (I tried it and the response is very fast)
