Cool tube Glass?

[widowmaker]

Does anyone know of any glass tubing that can be used for a cool tube. The Bake a round ones are kinda pricey, and the Hurrican Glass at Hobby lobby isnt big enough. Thanks

There's hurricane glass large enough for a 600watt bulb at Michael's Crafts, and probably any similar arts and crafts store.

i seen those bake-a-rounds on e-bay dirt cheap, under $10...

 

[widowmaker]

what ate these bake-arounds?

 

[brushybill]

bake arounds are cylindrical pieces of pyrex used for baking bread

 

[headband]

they are perfect to use as cool tubes, since pyrex glass pretty much wont break under heat.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are you guys talking about? They make "enclosures" that cool the bulbs? I am VERY interested.

Links?

Well, went to Micheals at a nearby town and found some hurricane glass that is perfect, thanks for the help

here's a link to a DIY one, posted by our esteemed member barefootbob. This one happens to be made with a globe for a lantern.(hurricane glass) but "bake arounds" can be used exactly the same way, or there are 'factory' built units, I think.

Thank you.

It is an absolutely fantastic addition to about any setup.. IMO. Even a simple vented hood does extreemly well at reducing heat and allowing you to get the lights 'close'.

I run 6" aircooled rioght now, but it is allways good to see how others cool their systems.

ahhh.. then you aren't unfamiliar with the 'concept', only the "name"..
