End caps are mounted on opposite ends of the tube, the end caps adapted to engage opposite ends of the fluorescent light bulb and support the fluorescent light bulb within the inner volume of the tube free of contact with the outer wall of the tube. Finally, the tube is constructed of a generally rigid, at least partially translucent materials, such that light emitted by the fluorescent light bulb held within the tube generally radiates through the outer wall of the tube into the surrounding environment.
