Our Fluted (Star-Shaped) Hollow Glass Tubes are engineered for visual impact. By extruding glass into a multi-ribbed star profile, we create a component that captures light from internal LED sources and refracts it outward, creating a sparkling, linear aesthetic.
This component is the industry standard for modern cascading chandeliers found in hotel atriums, luxury retail spaces, and convention centers.
Key Features for Engineering Projects
- Lightweight Design: Being hollow (unlike solid crystal rods), these tubes significantly reduce the total weight of large fixtures, simplifying ceiling support requirements.
- Installation Ready:
- Precision Drilling: Side holes (typically 3mm-5mm) are drilled exactly where you need them for hanging pins or safety clips.
- Smooth Edges: Both ends are fire-polished or ground smooth to prevent chipping and ensure safe handling during installation.
- Superior Light Diffusion: The longitudinal ribs (flutes) act as linear prisms, turning harsh LED points into a continuous streak of light.
