<br>
Forgot to ask at the meeting last night.<br>
<br>
I'm after a short length (around 1 metre) of some translucent pipe, roughly 18 - 20mm OD and 14 - 17mm ID.<br>
<br>
For a lighting project. Apparently in the US you can find Pex(?) plumbing pipe / tube that meets this criteria.<br>
<br>
My Google search 'Foo' and general checking of the bigger hardware stores locally has not found anything that is suitable. Thoughts and suggestions are requested.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
<br>
