Help replacing a very special item I accidently smashed « on: March 18, 2022, 05:46:40 AM » Author: 108CAM
I need get a new Japanese market Toshiba F40T10 fluorescent tube in pink. I just smashed the only one I had and I'm now heartbroken. I'll pay anything to get another one

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

Here is a Japanese market pink F40T10 or FL40SPK fluorescent tube that I found on the overseas shopping website www.jauce.com via Japan’s shopping website www.rakuten.co.jp: https://www.jauce.com/rakuten/item/denzaido:10004508/ You can actually use this site to ship these Japanese pink fluorescent tubes or anything else to Australia or anywhere else outside of Japan. The base cost of this individual fluorescent tube is 1,380 Japanese Yen, which translates to $15.62AUD. I used Jauce to obtain some Japanese market CFL lamps that I could not find anywhere else in the world. The one that I found is actually a NEC model because I found that the Toshiba pink lamps are discontinued.

Thanks for the help. I'm happy to take the NEC tube as a replacement.

You are welcome. I am glad to help since I have experience obtaining lamps, ballasts, and fixtures not commonly sold in my home country.
