Websites where you can easily obtain Japanese market lamps « on: March 07, 2022, 03:48:43 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
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

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.

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.

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.

I had that same experience when I got my FPR96 CFL lamps from Jauce.

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.
