Beside coated tubes production Glostertube supplies all the accessories for the production and the installation of cold cathode lighting systems.


Masonlite glass electrodes are produced starting from the best quality raw materials in the world. The shells are deep drawn from the finest quality and pure soft iron, and nickel plated in a custom built dedicated plant ensuring the required quality and preventing contamination. Following the shells are heated to high temperature to remove any impurity that could shorten the tube life. The "A" activation specially developed from Masonlite for neon sign electrodes offers improved electrode life and much easier processing than other activations. Recently Masonlite introducted in the range the revolutionary "QUICKSILVER", the electrode with integrated mercury.


Glostertube supplies PVC or anodised Aluminium profile to produce lighting boxes. For both PVC or Aluminium profiles there are rounded or 90° joint corners to avoid the 45° cutting that never being perfect is often cause of moisture and dust infiltration inside the box.


All type of high tension cables for neon signs, certified under EN 50143 EUROPEAN regulations. Silicon rubber insulated cable, Polyethylene cable-PVC sheated, Low insulation Polyethylene cable-PVC sheated, etc.


ALURAPID pre-painted aluminium ribbon available in 50 m reels long, height 90, 112 or 140 mm, with twelve different colour.
By the help of a very simple pneumatic device you will be able to produce box letters also of large dimensions that do not resent atmospheric damage

A wide range of accessories includes T or U tube holders, cable fastening, silicon or bakelite electrode caps, milliammeter, hand torch, bench burner, mercury. Neon, Argon or mixture glass or metal flasks, cleaning solution to remove lead spots on tubes, white, black or grey paint for electrodes, colour checker (UV lamps), vacuum tester, tube tester,etc.


Hansen Neon electronic converters are the new frontier in the feeding of Neon tubes. They work with an operating frequency of approx. 20,000 Hz and will give you the best advantages from small dimensions, low weight, integrated earth leakage trip, open circuit protection, flicker-free light, dimmability.
