Hmm, I've heard of Iwasaki making a 100w MV pulse start lamp that ran off of a M90 ballast (The Moon Pulse lamps (https://www.1000bulbs.com/pdf/EYE-MoonPulse-Brochure.pdf)) but not the other way around. You got a catalogue number of it, I can't seem to find anything online.

You could check the japanese amazon website. By the way, these lamps are not designed with CWA ballasts in mind.

Here is a Japanese amazon link for one such lamp:

https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B01687JE0A/ref=ox_sc_act_image_9?smid=AN1VRQENFRJN5&psc=1

However, it must only be burned base up.

I can run it base up just fine, the price is horrendous though :dazed: >:( Are they still made? Can i order them direct from eye?  :wndr:

I have also been looking for the same stuff and I am looking for ways to ship them to the USA.

I have found this Mitsubishi metal halide lamp designed to retrofit mercury vapor lamps on Japanese 100W mercury vapor HX autotransformer ballasts if you would be interested:

https://www.jauce.com/auction/r1143926133

Just as I mentioned earlier, it is only compatible with HX autotransformer ballasts and series choke ballasts.

Additionally, this website can help you get this lamp shipped to the USA.

Just so you know, 4800 JPY is about $31 USD. Additionally, I think with an item this small, the shipping costs might be reasonable.

In the near future, I might be able to send you a Japanese 100W metal halide retrofit lamp for mercury vapor ballasts as I have been recently importing a few for my own collection including the Mitsubishi/Osram lamp that I initially linked as I now have it in my possession.
