Need help finding...

[dankmn]

I'm trying to find a tube for a DIY 1000w hortilux cooltube, I did the measurements and I don't think that the "bake-a-round" will work at least for 1000w bulbs it won't work. Now my question, where can I find some sort of heat resistant glass tube with decently similar proportions to the hortilux bulb?

The internet search didn't go so well, spent about 2 hours looking the other day, all the wrong sizes/shapes, the one I did find that was perfect was all sandblasted and ruined :\ at least for my purposes with it.

Any help would be appreciated, I'd rather not have to come up with 400 dollars to buy a complete 1000w system.

Forgot to add, I went to walmart, home depot, and menards with no luck.

i know alot of people use those "cyclone" glass things.... i guess they are used for covering candles... theyre like 8 bucks at most large craft stores....

hmmm they make candle covers around 20"?? I've only seen around 15inches and they weren't wide enough. I think the bulb is about 18" long by 3.5-4" wide at the middle of the bulb.

I did check the DIY section and didn't see a single one using a bulb anywhere close to as big as the hortilux.
