Light covers

[Swyn-y-Mor]

My light covers , the curved plastic covers of the side lights in all cabins, have deteriorated over time. Has anyone found a source for their replacement or an alternative?

Rainshadow does not have anything like this – are you saying your side portlights lenses are made of plastic, or is this “plastic cover” some sort of interior shade?

Thanks for getting back to me. – Its the interior lights in all cabins have a curved plastic cover. I will try to post a picture.

Ah, my mistake.

Our interior ceiling lights have glass shades, which are most annoying because they has sharp decorative ribs on them. Quite painful when you hit your head against one. I think I would prefer deteriorated plastic.

Of course, we could change all the fixtures to solve the problem – which may be what you need to do as well. I’ve considering trying to find a replacement shade that would fit the fixture, but it seems a lost cause. New LED fixtures would be quite nice. (Although we have replaced the bulbs in ours already with LEDs).

Perhaps a picture of your lights may get a different response from another forum member.

Hi,

If you are writing about the bunk reading light covers just as I did  buy a small sheet of clear flexible perspex and cut to suit.

My replacement covers are still good after 22 years. And yes, also changed lamps to LEDs
