 Allwest Tubeguard ensures safety and contributes to a clean aesthetic.Allwest Tubeguard offers maximum protection against broken glass and sparks that can result when florescent lamps shatter. In addition, the durable Acrylic or Polycarbonate shield protects lamps from the shock of impacts.  Allwest standard Tubeguard meets and exceeds OSHA, FDA, and USDA requirements for lamp shields. We also provide specialty Tubeguard for aerospace and custom lighting applications in custom materials, wall thicknesses and lengths. Whatever your lamp guard needs, Allwest Tubeguard will meet and exceed your requirements.

Allwest Tubeguard protects bulbs from impact, and sensitive environments from possible contamination.Allwest uses Impact Modified resins specially formulated for extrusion and molding applications. From the superb clarity, weatherability, and UV resistance of Acrylic to the extreme temperature and impact of Polycarbonate, we use the best resins to meet your Tubeguard requirements. Light transmission is excellent, since we only use Acrylics and Polycarbonates that are water clear. Flame and smoke resistant resin is available that meets FAA requirements for use inside air cabin enclosures and airframes (FAR 25.853a).
