Default Japanese style spotlights?

Hey does anyone know where to get jap style spotlights?
Any other suggestions other than the traditional rectangular fixtures and pendants?

Thanks!

If you provide a pic of what you're looking for I could swing by an aquarium store here that might possibly have them.

Not exactly the cheapest thing out there but I think this is what you're looking for.

Yes, thanks Sphelps, that's pretty much exactly what I was looking for... however, I would like to find something more local if possible, and cheaper as well...

57,120.00 JPY

=

747.649 CAD

That's each light, plus shipping, IF they'll even do it!

I read somewhere (not sure where but maybe on a recent TOTM at RC) that these lights have had some questionable safety records and have not been approved electrically in either Canada or the US yet.

Wish I could remember where but if I find it I will forward to you.

Ice Cap was selling lights in that style a while back but they discontinued them. Best place to find similar things would be a place that sells stage lighting. It may be difficult to find one bluer than 6500k though.
