An 1/8" version of this arm would be substantially stronger if it were 1/16" and left unlightened.

An unlighted 1/16" version would probably be stronger, but the question is, can you get the correct tubing size in 1/16" wall? I've been looking for tubing for our arm redesign, and usually only 1x1 and .75 x .75 tube come in a 1/16" wall.
