I had a 35W SOX lamp come in a tube like that.

If some day I buy a linear low pressure sodium, I will request it packaged in a 2 inches 1mm thick steel tube, for be shipping yeet proof, and then I'll store and display it in a bulletproof glass box.

One of my SLI lamps came in a 4ft length of 4in plastic drain pipe, which you could have driven a truck over without damage..!

Well, because an SLI would be the rarest lamp of my little collection it won't stop me to request a steel pipe.

The weight of it would push the shipping up though I would have thought

A length of ABS pipe would be better, as steel might not let X-rays through and if they opened the package they might not put all of the packing back in, increasing the chance of damage. And with the diameter of the tube being almost 2" you want to have at least an inch of padding round the tube.

Yep, a thick ABS pipe would be better than a steel pipe or a thin normal draining PVC pipe. What I was thinking about?
