I actually thought the plastic tube guard would be red,not a clear plastic tube guard with a film like red insert.Thinking about it now I can see the cost would have been much more that way.The only experience I've had with tube guards was in the military were the tube guard itself was red.The fluorescent lights the tube guards are going on are being used as a backlight for my flatscreen TV.Cutting the sleeves to the length of my bulbs was tricky because of the flexible red film like insert,but I made it work and am very satisfied.Having various backlight colors makes TV viewing at night more enjoyable and is easier on the eyes.

The Impact T12-MM-BP is the perfect solution for holding tube lights like the Godox TL 30 and TL-60 or ANY tube light that does NOT exceed a T-12 type / thickness.

Whatever light brand you have, whether it is a Pavotube, Sutefoto, Amaran or others, make sure you read the manufacturer's specifications on how thick your tube is. You'll want to be looking for T-12 diameter.

The materials you find on the T12-MM-BP
are super tough ABS Plastic & CNC Aluminum Construction, which is miles away from the fragile cheap plastic clear holders that comes with the TL-60/30 that sometimes causes scratches on my light.

The T12-MM-BP will wrap around your tube light perfectly and without damaging anything. I find that, there's absolutely no need to strap "security" Velcro straps on anything around to help hold the tube lights. Once you tighten, and lightly, your tube light is not going anywhere. Don't over tighten! Just enough torque is sufficient. But if you want to put the lights overhead, you can add the Velcro's (not included) but I won't. No need.

The aluminum pin that mounts on a stand or anything else you may have, make sure it accommodates a 3/8-16 thread as these are designed for maximum sturdiness. No 14-20 support on these. And they have a hexagon shape and design, so, when you mount it on the top hole, they will never turn or rotate regardless of the position.

The threads, when screwing or unscrewing, it's so fast and fluid. No resistance whatsoever. It spins freely until it stops at the top or bottom!

When tightening the jaws, the mechanism will always be aligned. It opens and closes perfectly aligned. Everything to make your life easy they thought of.

You can stack as many Impact T12-MM-BP on top of the other as you need. I included pictures with this review so you can see plenty of examples there including mounting options.

Very happy with this item.

This clamp works as advertised and is very well made and constructed. Feels great and is sturdy with quality materials. This is perfect for T12 size LED tube lights or fluorescent lights. The material on the clamp (ABS plastic) is helpful when attaching things that are fragile, like tube lights. It helps to make the attachment firm, preventing scuffs/scratches and reduces the chance of breaking whatever you attach with it. This clamp has an interlocking pin and receiver system, so you can stack these clamps and attach multiple tube lights. And it is a hexagon pin four-sided receiver, so it does not spin or twist out of position. That's a cool feature. Making the lower jaw keyed is also a nice feature because it keeps the 2 jaws aligned. And the knob you use to tighten the lower jaw is very well made and super smooth to work with and spin/tighten. It works very well. Another very cool feature is having a 3/8-16 thread on the bottom of the pin. This allows you to attach the clamp to a light stand. I added a 1/4 Female to 3/8 Male Adapter so I could use it with a light stand I have with a 1/4 male end. I love having the ability to use this clamp with a light stand in case I do not want to bring a c-stand or c-stand grip head. That makes it even more convenient to use. Again, this is a great clamp and is well thought out in its design. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]
