This is upcycling at it’s best! in the rough work environment (fragile) fluorescent tubes have to survive and hence they designed these dust-free, explosion-proof and splash-proof industrial lights. After an explosion or accident in the factory hall, coal mine and/or laboratory the fluorescent tubes had to remain lit, that increased the survival chances of the employees/workers. With cast aluminum ends and parallel sturdy glass tubes, these are practically indestructible, and have a tough rugged style that you won’t find anywhere else. We clean them and convert them for consumer light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, etc\. The bulbs are replace by unscrewing the end-caps which have a safety cable so they won’t fall to the floor.
