Notes: |
In
the Japanese market, there is a far greater market for higher colour
temperature lamps such as this - in fact, Japan is one of the few
places in the world where there is still a strong demand for non-colour
corrected high pressure mercury vapour lamps on account of their high
colour temperature. They as a market, are also very picky about
the quality of the lighting - this tends to spill over to the lighting
devices themselves as well, the Iwasaki-EYE range for instance are so
beautifully well made that they are almost works of art.
