SPECIAL APPLICATION LAMPS

Not the one. At most, this tube is a T6, which would be 3/4 inch
diameter. A T12 would be 1 1/2 inch diameter.

Same style, though... single pin, instant start

Hi,

I need an FSL-520-D Japanese style fluorescent lamp. It is unlike an
American style lamp in that it only has one electrode at each end. An
American style lamp flickers and overheats when plugged into this Japanese
style fixture. Does anyone know where I might be able to procure these
FSL-520-D Japanese style fluorescent lamps?

The AC voltage across this Japanese fluorescent fixture when plugged into
a 110-120 American socket is about 600 volts measured with a standard
American multimeter. Just for my own edification, does anyone know how
this kind of fixture differs in its operation from an American style
fluorescent fixture?
