Well you can just contact a signmaker and he will bend a glass tube

want blue he will fill it with argon and add a microscopic amount of
mercury) and then seal it.

What?? You'd allow mercury in your house?


Do you have any "normal" fluorescent tubes in your house? Then you already
have plenty of mercury ;-o


Or a medical thermometer.

Or amalgam fillings
