Solid brass tubing with LEDs in them and magnets stuck into each end.

So some form of magic brass that lets light through?

SLOTTED brass tubes

Not much of a stretch - you haven't seen vinyl shower curtains with
magnets in the corners to make them stick to the cast iron tub??

Holy ****, people still use iron tubs? Two of us tried to get one of those out of a second floor bathroom once, we had to use industrial strength rope and slide it slowly down the stairs. Luckily it wasn't a split staircase with a corner.

Sure, people still use iron tubs. People pay big money to have refurbished
cast-iron clawfoot tubs.

We took a cast iron tub out of our bathroom four years ago. Busted it up
with a sledge hammer and took it out in pieces. Ours was vintage 1947,
so not a clawfoot.

Even a lot of "current" tubs are cast iron, not stamped steel. Really
THIN cast, covered with porcelain enamel. The last one I removed went
out in pieces after scoring it with an angle grinder and smacking it
with a sledge hammer

Er.... baths are made of plastic. I can pick mine up with one hand (before fitting it obviously).

Not all baths are made of plastic. I get a bunch of hits when I google for
cast iron bath tub.

You'll get a bunch of hits for vintage cars too, doesn't mean they're a good idea.

I don't have a bath anymore. My 152 cm by 81 cm shower base is cast acrylic
and weighs a lot. Maybe close to 50 kilograms; I can't quite remember how
much effort it was to fit it. A lot, but my husband did most of the work.

I have a bath but not for bathing in.
