The invention relates to a lamp tube device used for a lamp box of a color selector. The lamp tube device comprises two fixing brackets, a plurality of lamp tubes and a background plate, wherein the background plate and the plurality of lamp tubes are parallelly mounted between the two fixing brackets, a lamp panel is arranged on one side face of each lamp tube, a plurality of lamp beads are arranged on each lamp panel, the lamp tube device further comprises a plurality of air pipes and an air pump, two ends of each lamp tube communicate with each other, so that a hollow pipeline is formed, through holes are formed in the fixing brackets, the air pipes pass through the through holes, and the air pump is connected with two ends of each lamp tube through the air pipes. Compared with the prior art, the device provided by the invention has the advantages that two ends of the lamp tubes realize communicating, cooling air is delivered in, then the temperature of the lamp tubes during work isreduced, when the intensity of the light path needs to be promoted, after the power of the lamp beads is increased, the heat dissipation of the lamp beads and the lamp tubes is assisted through the flowing of the cooling air, then the temperature in a machine box is kept basically constant while the intensity of the light path is promoted, and the influences brought by high temperature are reduced.
