Demo of flexible strip snowfall tubes

[dpitts]

I build 1 meter flexible strip snowfall tubes. I took this video from 15 feet away. They will be at least 50 from viewer. They have great light even from 180 degree side angle. The greatest viewing angle in my show will be 45 degrees at most. I used a T8 fluorescent light protectors. I will connect minimum of 3 together but maybe up 5.

The first one has controller mounted to the top. I glued a 1" pvc coupler to tube to attach the controller.

Where did you source the tube itself? That's a very tidy package you have put together. Nicely done.

The tubes were bought from Home Depot. They are T8 fluorescent bulb protectors. $3.50 each.
