Is white the only colour available

We have recently received the UV insect killing tubes and this listing should be live very soon. Other than that we don’t have this product in other colours yet.

Is this suitable for a bar chiller?

Yes these tubes will be fine for a chiller

should these be failing after just over one year of average use?

Should last many years unless faulty manufacture.

They are 288mm (excluding the pins) as per the listing details
