Tubes and arms 12mm / 13mm diameter

Tubes and arms with 12mm and 13mm diameter

Tubes and arms with 12mm and 13mm diameter are robust structural components widely used in lamp assembly and lighting projects that require extra strength. Their greater diameter compared to standard 10mm tubes makes them ideal for supporting heavier lampshades, larger arms, or designs with greater projection. These components ensure durability and stability, making them perfect for both new lamp constructions and the restoration of large or heavy lighting fixtures.

Characteristics and uses: The 12mm and 13mm tubes and arms are designed to offer superior resistance. Their larger diameter provides extra stability in floor lamps, wall sconces with long arms, ceiling lamps, and chandeliers. They are compatible with a wide range of couplings, nuts, and other lighting accessories specifically designed for these diameters. Most models feature internal threading, which allows easy passage of electrical wiring and secure attachment of lampholders or brackets. They are available in multiple lengths, which makes them suitable for custom projects requiring specific dimensions.

Materials and finishes: These tubes and arms are made from high-quality materials to guarantee maximum strength. Brass is one of the most common options due to its resistance to corrosion and elegant appearance. Steel is also widely used for its robustness and durability, and aluminium is ideal for projects that require lightweight yet resistant components. Among the most popular finishes are polished brass, nickel, chrome, black or white lacquered, and antique patina, allowing you to match the tube or arm to the style of the lamp or lighting fixture.

Advantages: The main benefit of using 12mm and 13mm diameter tubes and arms is the added stability they provide to large lamps or designs with heavy decorative elements. They allow safe integration of electrical wiring through their inner hole, which simplifies assembly. Their thickness ensures that they can support complex structures without bending, making them suitable for professional-quality lighting projects. In addition, they are compatible with standard accessories and can be combined with connectors or extensions to create custom structures.

Installation and compatibility: These tubes and arms can be combined with nuts, threaded sleeves, and couplings of the same diameter to build solid and tailored structures. Many of them feature a standard European thread such as M13x1 or similar, which makes it easy to integrate them into existing lamp designs or accessories. They are also easy to cut and adapt to the required length, providing flexibility in assembly and design.
