What the h**l are the light covers on amusement rides called? (or if you know where can I buy them)?

Question

Ok, you know the lights on amusement rides, they have covers on them of all different colours. You look inside a waltzer setup and they usually have strips of them on the ceiling. I've been searching google for the last hour trying to find them but I don't know their official name so it's virtually impossible. Does anyone know what they're called or where I can buy them from? I would like to buy some for a project of mine.

Answer 1

Hello mate.........

i used to install these, they are called 'turbolights', though theres nothing too turbo about them, its hard to find just the covers these days as i know 95% are supplied with a lamp as the companies that sell em make more money, i used to buy the lights that you are on about from this supplier:

I'm a sparky but sorry livealex I do not know where you can get them. But I would like to say to "TOMMY D" IF YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT SELLS THEM,WHY NOT GIVE livealex THE PHONE NUMBER OR ADDRESS SO THAT HE CAN CONTACT THEM ? ALSO WHY ARE YOU WRITING IN capitals  ? IT'S ANNOYING & SHOUTING

Edit> Nice one Bardic a thumbs up to you

Edit> you are asking for a light pipe/rope light. Try a shop that sells disco paraphernalia,Maplin or R.S ( radio spares )
