Thanks Roll,

I actually came up with this idea sitting at the Kitchen Island with my 16 year old son and my blown-up cluster and I looked over at a light fixture my wife has been bugging me to get installed....typical afternoon, right?

I looked at the little sleeves that go over the chandelier base for the 3 lights and the decorative tube was a dead-ringer for my crumbling tubes. I grabbed it and clicked it in the housing with appropriate pressure, sitting in the tabs perfectly, snug and happy. Only issue it was heavy (potential for falling forward and down) and about 1/4 too long. My son said “how about aluminum”.

And here we are. I’ll use the link and give them a call to get the info I need and explain what I’m trying to accomplish. Maybe we’ll get them to offer a set to the members here and we may have an answer to our collective issue with our 50+year old tubes.....thanks again and stay tuned....
