ABSTRACT:
An elongated thin wall plastic tube device, containing decorative un-printed images along its length as transparent light-transmissive openings, while also containing printed or painted opaque sections to block out unwanted light-transmission around the images. The decorative tube device will surround a fluorescent light bulb color sleeve, which in combination with a fluorescent light bulb are inserted into a fluorescent lighting fixture. Once the fixture is powered on, the light transmitted by the light bulb passes through the color sleeve and through the un-printed image openings, while the opaque sections block out unwanted light around the images and throughout the remaining sections of the decorative tube device. When illuminated, the apparatus give the appearance of neon signage at a fraction of the cost of conventional neon signs.
