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

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.

Probably not if you use CFL or LED


Is there a better way.

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

Show us a pic. Your options certainly widen if you can lose the lilies. Printer ink generally fades, red especially. Etching the pattern with a laser would last.
