In Response To: Glass issue (Mark)

When you say darkening do you mean that you can see it when it is lit? the darkening you see when you get this with lead glass is lead reduction, you should not get this with any lead free glass. What has Tecnolux said? Rasberry was never designed to be a bendable glass, primarily accent lighting. We played with that color and the demand wasnt as high as would warrant producing. It is a nice color but has it's applications.

What you might be seeing is the dye coat that is coated into the tube first having a reaction with the heat from the torches.
