Default Wall light shades repair

Two of three wall lights, due to long usage and heat have suffered the
plasticky shades turning brown and brittle. There are also matching
ceiling light shades too. The plastic bits an elongated triangle slotted
into a gold metal shade frame, 6 triangles per frame. They are made from
a sort of flexible clear plastic, with like a coloured lily pattern in
the plastic.

I really rather would prefer to repair them, than try to source some
replacement shades. I'm thinking photo copy an undamaged shade lens,
print it in colour, laminate then cut to shape. I suspect the heat will
distort them. Is there a better way.

Maybe replacement for these plastic parts can be bought, anyone know?


Can you still buy "cels" for stage lights?
