Japanese Metal Halide with Internal Ballast

The Japanese are at it again. With the recent development of self-ballasted or internal ballast metal halide spots, a few manufacturers have made them in a higher kelvin (10 & 14K) for reef applications.  These would be great for supplementing individual colonies on large tanks or core lighting for nanos. The clip system makes it easy to use and as plug and play as metal halide lighting can get. Below shows a smaller 24w 10K Metal Halide.  

It’s so simple, how can you not like it?

  • @Mustafa, We do not sell any products. Additionally these are not available outside of Japan. Your best bet is to find a company in Japan willing to sell to you. Hope that helps.

  • Hi Pedro,

    Unfortunately, there is an ongoing patent battle with that specific light. It's unlikely that it will be available anytime soon.

  • Hi Cam,

    We actually do not know. If I remember correctly the bulbs retailed for ~$100 each, but unfortunately they do not work on our electric.

    I'll dig through some older stuff and see if I can find more information.
