In trying to replace one of the four
48" fluorescent tubes in my ceiling
light, I accidentally dropped and
shattered the translucent plastic
cover which rests inside the wood
frame.

No model number or brand is visable
and the fixture is about 15 years
old. Certainly not in stock
locally.

The cover measures 23.5 x 47.5 inches,
plus .5" lip at the bottom of 1.5"
extension.

Looking for any suggestions on
where to find or fabricate a
replacement cover.

Many thanks.

Any of the big box home improvement stores (B&Q, Lowes, Home Depot, etc) will
stock 2x4 (or 4x2 if you are in the UK) sheets of translucent panels in the
section where they stock suspended ceiling components. If you really need the
panel cut down, use a very fine blade coping saw and trim to fit.
