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?
