Abstract: A lamp of simple construction for selectively supporting a bulb or bulbs in multiple positions, wherein the bulbs are illuminating tubes such as fluorescent or neon tubes and the lamp does not substantially interfere with the illumination radiating from the bulb or bulbs. The lamp is generally comprised of a frame and at least one bulb holder located along the frame. The bulb holder is provided with an aperture for slidably receiving and holding the bulb to be supported, the bulb thereby being held by the bulb holder and supported by the frame.
Abstract: A noble gas illumination device such as a neon tube in which the glass neon tube is clear and uncoated and is surrounded by a clear plastic tube. The clear plastic tube may be tinted or colorless. If it is tinted, it alters the color of the light emanating from the device. Whether tinted or untinted, the clear plastic tube makes the uncoated neon tube appear to have a larger diameter, thereby creating the illusion that the electric discharge beam in the neon tube is extremely thin and focused and has the appearance of a laser beam.
