Bubble Tubes
Apollo Creative design and manufacture a range of bubble tubes for use in a wide variety of environments. From traditional areas such as sensory rooms, through to Point of Sale (POS) applications and exhibitions, bubble tubes provide a unique focal point.
All our tubes are based on high brightness, low maintenance LED's. Pumps are designed to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that they can be used for displays as well as in sensory environments. Tubes are built to order at our factory in Knaresborough, so custom sizes and specifications are available on request.

Passive Bubble Tubes
Passive bubble tubes continuously fade through a series of colours providing a mesmerising effect. Heights range from 1m through to 2m, with a standard diameter of 150mm. For those wanting extra impact you can go for an extra wide 200mm (8") tube.
Interactive Bubble Tubes
Provide your bubble tube users with a level of control over their environment with an upgrade to our Interactive Tube.
Our new, wireless remote allows the user to control the colour of the tube and the flow of bubbles. Select Red, Green, Blue, Yellow or mix colours using the illuminated switches. Press the central white switch to turn the bubbles on and off. The tube reverts to passive mode if no button is pressed for a pre-set period. The remote is rechargeable, so no need to replace costly batteries.
The remote also features five 3.5mm sockets on the side, which you can use to attach any standard assistive technology switch. This means that you can select a suitable switch for those who can't access the ones on the main remote.
Ball/Bead Bubble Tube
Add this variation to any passive or interactive bubble tube. An insert in the center of the tube carries coloured balls and beads shooting up the center after which they gently float down the outside. Creating an additional visual cue (often useful in high brightness situations), the movement of the beads also encourages tracking and focuses attention.

-
1, 1.5, 1.75 and 2m tube lengths - or request a custom size
