I have been given a pair of UV tubes.

Dimensions are.
Tube diameter : 30mm
Tube length ( excluding prongs) 590mm

Is it possible to get tube holders/fittings for these , and is there a way to clip these to the ultimax uprights ?

Cheers

If you mean ones that look just like normal florescent tubes, but dark....
then nip down to B&Q or other electrical wholsaler and get yerself some standard florescent tube fittings, fit some flex and terminate on mains connector of choice. You can't (mustn't:eek:) dim them but they will be fine on a switch pack or just plug 'em straight in to the mains:D

Easiest way to attach them to uprights is cable ties, there's little weight in them, so if you use say one per foot of fitting you'll be OK.

Just be wary that they are very easily broken so if the public could bump in to your stand or the tubes then they WILL shatter:eek:
