Thunder Laser uses mostly SPT tubes (and Reci) and every tube is inspected, measured, and tested to make sure each one meets or exceeds our quality standards.
Thunder Laser USA does stock tubes for warranty stock. If your Thunder Laser is under warranty and you have a problem please submit a support ticket at support@thunderlaserusa.com
Our OEM tubes already have the wire pigtails with HV connector attached. The current Light Object and other 3rd Party will likely only have wire wrap posts which need to be terminated correctly.
We like to keep the specified model and type tube in warranty machines, but if you are out of warranty and choose another brand tube, that is totally up to you. adding Non-OEM spec equipment could change the behavior, output, calibration, etc... so the tube needs to have the same specs as the OEM tube to help mitigate the difference.
The instructions for installing our OEM tube can be found here:
