Fluorescent light covers are designed to prevent the lighting tube from shattering. The manufacturers can supply a shatterproof coating for any type of bulb, but they are specifically designed for fluorescent bulbs. The light covers are made from a clear unbreakable silicon material and the shrink-wrapped tube protector is easy to fit over any fluorescent light tubes.
Fluorescent tube protectors are extremely useful in commercial food premises. Most modern health and safety legislation requires that premises where food is prepared must take steps to prevent glass from contaminating the food should a light tube shatter. This legislation also applies to other commercial premises where broken glass could easily cause harm either to staff, or to the general public.
If your business involves food preparation, you should definitely consider installing some fluorescent tube protectors on your light fittings. Most commercial food premises use fluorescent lights above the preparation counters as they offer a brighter glare than many other types of light fittings. If a tube inadvertently shattered and sent broken glass all over your food counters, this would be a catastrophe. Even worse, if some glass injured one of your employees, you could be facing an expensive personal injury claim.
Fluorescent light c
overs are designed to withstand heat, even on high wattage lamps that burn extremely hot. The covers will not turn brown and because the cover is sealed, in the unfortunate event that the unit shatters, the broken glass is kept together in one place and can easily be disposed off. Once a replacement light tube is fitted, replacement fluorescent light covers can also be fitted.
Decorative fluorescent light covers are also available as an excellent way of adding some pizzazz to theatres, nightclubs, and restaurants. The light covers are available in a range of up to 50 bright colors and tones, and are suitable for matching to any environment. Comprehensive color charts are available so that you can color match your décor to the tube cover. Some manufacturers will even produce custom color tube covers to suit your specific requirements.
By fitting some colored tube covers on fluorescent lighting in hallways and other areas, the environment can be greatly enhanced. Imagine the effects of a red colored tube cover in a nightclub corridor. Bright, harsh lighting would not work at all. The general ambiance is likely to be much improved by some softer lighting. Most nightclub guests would definitely not appreciate the dazzling glow of a white fluorescent light after several hours of drinking cheap vodka shots.
If you buy a large selection of different colored sleeves for your fluorescent tubes, you can change the colors to suit your décor. This is handy if you run a restaurant and you have different functions booked. What might look great for a wedding—for example some soft, muted shades of pink—would perhaps not be entirely appropriate for an 18th birthday celebration. Because they are so easy to change, these fluorescent light covers make a great design statement for all kinds of settings.
