Two of three wall lights, due to long usage and heat have suffered the

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?


Nomex paper/card is the stuff. RS sell it, though not such a range as
they used to...
