Lamp tubes, rods and tube accessories: structure and design for your lighting projects

Lamp tubes, rods and tube accessories are essential components when building or restoring lamps. They provide structure, support and height to your fixtures, while also serving as conduits for electrical wiring. At Lighting DIY, we offer a wide variety of lamp tubes, tijas and accessories so you can customise your lamps with a professional finish.

1. Types of lamp tubes and rods
Our catalogue includes:

  • Metal tubes: straight tubes with internal threading for easy connection with other lamp components.

  • Extension rods (tijas): perfect for adjusting the height of ceiling lamps or creating multi-section structures.

  • Decorative tubes: available in different diameters, finishes and lengths to suit any lamp design.

2. Tube accessories and connectors
To complement the tubes and rods, we stock a wide range of accessories:

  • Tube connectors and couplings: join several sections together to build larger or more complex structures.

  • Tube end caps and nuts: ensure a clean and safe finish.

  • Supports and brackets: provide stability and allow you to fix tubes to bases, ceiling roses or lamp holders.

3. Materials and finishes
Our tubes and rods are manufactured from durable materials such as steel, aluminium and brass. Finishes include black, white, chrome, brass, copper and nickel, so you can match them perfectly with the rest of your lamp components.

4. Ideal for DIY and restoration projects
Lamp tubes and rods are indispensable for anyone who enjoys designing or repairing lamps. They allow you to:

  • Replace damaged parts of an existing fixture.

  • Adjust the height of pendant or floor lamps.

  • Build custom lighting structures from scratch.

5. Compatibility with other accessories
Our tubes and rods are compatible with the rest of our lighting components, such as lamp holders, ceiling roses, cables and bases. This makes it easy to combine parts and achieve a cohesive, professional result.

How do I know which diameter tube I need for my lamp?

Check the diameter of the lamp holder thread and the internal wiring space required. The most common sizes are 10 mm and 13 mm.

Can I cut the tubes or rods to a specific length?

Yes, most metal tubes can be cut with a hacksaw or tube cutter. Always deburr the edges and maintain the internal threading for secure connections.

Are the tubes and rods compatible with all lamp holders?

Most tubes are threaded for standard lamp holders (E27, E14). Always verify the thread size before purchase to ensure compatibility.

What accessories do I need to connect several tubes together?

You will need connectors or couplings that match the tube’s diameter and thread. End caps and nuts are also recommended for a clean and secure assembly.
