UFO Can Supply Custom Light Tubes in a Range of Sizes

Common End Connectors

Light Tubes can be supplied with either standard 1.2in (30mm) or mini 0.5in (12.5mm) common ends. Where a mini common end is used, a 1.2in (30mm) adaptor is required to fit a standard light source.

Mini common ends allow for more than one independently removable tube to be connected to a light source and require a smaller hole to pass through for easier installation. A maximum of three 0.5in (12.5mm) mini common ends can be connected to one 1.2in (30mm) common end.

Light Tubes provide a versatile method to give a general wash of light and can be either easily hidden from view or finished to become an integral part of the display design.

They consist of a metal tube which holds end emitting fibers at close spacings to give an even light. The points of light can be staggered if desired to cover a wider area.

  • Available profiles

1.25in (32mm) profile

1.5in (38mm) profile

2.1in (52mm) profile

Light Tubes are available in three profiles - 1.2in (32mm), 1.5in (38mm) and 2.1in (52mm) diameters - as shown above. Typical spacings for the fiber tails are between 2in (50mm) and 4in (100mm).

Light Tubes can be supplied as a straight tube with the fiber tails emerging from one or both ends, or can be manufactured as part of a gantry system.

A range of mounting brackets for tubes can be supplied. End caps are also available to cover the hole at the end of the tube.

Our range of Light Tubes are made to order, to the sizes you specify, and can be supplied in raw aluminum, polished stainless steel, or they can be custom painted .
