What does “JET” mean on Japanese fluorescent lamps? « on: July 21, 2022, 02:28:32 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
After collecting some Japanese fluorescent and CFL lamps for a while, I noticed that most of them contain the word “JET” inscribed on the lamp etches. What does the “JET” stand for on Japanese fluorescent lamps?

Maybe "Japanese Export Tube"

Fluro starter pings combined with a 50hz ballast hum and blinking tubes is music to my ears.

I even see the word “JET” on fluorescent lamps intended for the Japanese market.
