jeez... If I knew what it was really called I could do a proper search ,
buuuut
nnnnnnooooo ! . The stuff I want -and I know it's out there 'cause I saw
something made with it- is small tubing/conduit with electrical wire
running through
it , or fed through it . It just DOH !!! dawned on me that maybe the
approach is
the same as with normal-sized conduit and wiring . What I saw though, was
tubing about 3/32" dia. made into an attractive , medussa-like lighting
fixture/sculpture.

So... any refs for sources of such small tubing , either stainless ,
aluminum . And while we're at it ,
for small lighting supplies ,accessories , and etceteras ?.

Thanks gents ,

look at part number TTRA-02 for aluminum, TTRB-02 for brass, TTRC-02
for copper, all 3/32" OD
But only available in 12 or 36" lengths.

You might also try google for Pyrotenax. I did not (too busy to do
it right now, sorry), but that is the name of the copper-jacketed
stuff they used to run fire alarm wiring in. I've only ever seen it,
and I think it was more like 1/4" or 3/8".


There used to be something called aluclad as well. I think it is
history though. I got some for a job about 3 years ago, and only one
supplier had it avauilable, and the reel had almost an inch of dust on
it.. Almost the same as pyrotenax, but not rated for as high a
temperature. Pyrotenax is mineral insulated metallic sheathed, made by
Philips Cables. It has a minimum temperature limit of 90C. Some is 2
hour fire rated, some is not.
