Lowel 80W bulbs for europe. Where?

[Marcus Lundahl]

Hi all!

I've been searching the internet trying to find where to buy Lowels 80W 5500 K Fluorescent Lamp, the european 220 V version.

Manufacturer #: Lowel e1-80e.

I emailed Lowel but didn't get an answer.

Any suggestions? Preferably from someone who ships to Europe!

Kind regards
Marcus

I may be wrong, but flouros should not be a 110-220 deal, because the ballast if changing the voltage and frequency of the electricity to the lamp. Really you want a 110/220 ballast. That may be why you can't find them.

I think the ballast is in the bulb since they fit in a Edison type screw thread socket.

And they have to different manufacturer numbers:

Lowel e1-80 (US version 110 V)
Lowel e1-80e (European version 220 v)

Anyone?
