Frequently Asked Questions
Can this fluorescent acrylic tube be cut to shorter lengths?
Yes, the tube can be cut to shorter lengths using appropriate tools such as a fine-tooth saw or specialised plastic-cutting equipment. Ensure the tube is well supported during cutting and edges are deburred or polished as required for a clean finish.
Is the fluorescent acrylic tube suitable for outdoor use?
The tube is primarily recommended for indoor applications. While acrylic offers reasonable weather resistance, prolonged outdoor exposure and UV can affect appearance over time, so performance and longevity may be reduced compared with indoor use.
How do I choose the correct diameter for my project?
Select the outside diameter based on the clearance you need around any internal component or the visual impact you require. Smaller diameters such as 19 mm and 25 mm are often used for slim lighting features, while 38 mm and 51 mm are better suited to larger display elements or protective sleeves.
