Regarding 8800K bulbs

[Paul Higashikawa]

Hi to all:

This is Paul, and just wanna express my gratitude to those who offered many advices regarding my buddy's visit to Singapore last time. It turned out that his trip was a very busy one so he didn't do much sight-seeing at all. That, and plus some places brought up his painful memories of his previous relationship. Anyhow, all ancient histories now

My question is, does anyone in Singapore or rest of far east Asia, far that matter, know or use 8800K light bulbs? I know here in the States we have only squared-pinned configuration, which is great if you have Panasonic style fixture. But most people have the German straight pin fixture, myself included. So, this question is for all the compact fluorescent fixture users. Do you know or have you ever used a 8800K straight pin bulbs before? And yes, it'd have to look like the one Amano uses for his ADA bulb series, which are all in the 8800K range.

***There are some market that tout their bulbs as 8800K when in fact they are not. These would look pinkish. The real 8800K should look similar to 10000K, which is bright white looking.

Thank you for any feedback!

I remember Amano's as 8000K and 10000K tubes, never 8800K.

I use 8000K ones. They're imho whiter than 6500K ones.

The pin configuration is the one on the bottom right.
