Default Flexible plastic suitable for a fluorescent light diffuser?

I have a couple of Ikea, wall- and ceiling-mounted, fluorescent

deteriorating and falling apart.

Can anyone recommend a type or source of flexible plastic suitable for
replacing them?


If you cant or dont want to get the gels Dave suggested, fair standins
are nylon tape and the very thin nylon lining used in ultracheap
dresses.

I presume a new fitting would be cheaper than curved acid etched
glass.
