End Glow - Side Glow... What's the difference ?

As it's name implies, side glow filament illuminates along its entire length. 

Side glow fiber optic filament is very popular in applications that would normally use neon lighting.  It's a different type of fiber and requires very powerful (and expensive) illuminators to distribute the light evenly and fully through the filament length. 

At one point we use to carry side glow fiber optic filament, however in 2008 we made the decision to remove it from our product line up and focus on the scale model and star ceiling applications of end glow filament.
