Do you have any motion picture supply houses around?  I seem to recall that we used to use sleeves over fluorescent tubes, usually for color correction.  I do not recall if they actually had frosted.  I am texting a friend who does movie lighting and swears by RGB for his suggestions.

Subject: [SML] Fake fluorescent tubes

Hi all...

We need to make some (and when I say 'some' I really mean ~400' or so) 'fake' fluorescent tubes.  The idea is to put RGB tape inside.

Anyone have a good source for frosted plastic/acrylic rigid frosted tubing ~1"-2" in diameter?  Any other thoughts?

We're trying to avoid having to sand or use sheets of gel frost inside of clear tubing for ease of installation and consistency.

Thanks all!
