Replacement front glass for PIR floodlight?

Does it actually need glass at the position and orientation you have?

Bill

any glazier or almost any bit of used flat glass you happen to have.

Why grease up the screws holding in the glass? Were you intending in the future to replace the "non replaceable" LED?

If it's the typical eBay chinese special it'll be dead before spring ...

I have never seen an LED one where the glass was removable.

This is a D-I-Y Usenet group. What do you think?

Hi Adam Ah, yes ... I didn't investigate further, but now I see that the construction is different to the Halogen ones. Just as well that the replacement has now arrived...

Cheers J^n

Yes assuming its not one of the type we used to get with very hot bulbs inside, almost anyone who can cut glass should be able to match it. As you have discovered its hardly safety glass, by the sound of it, indeed, it might be fine to use Plexiglass type stuff which tends not to crack. Brian

Some are replaceable you know. I don't like pir floodlights as they tend to annoy the neiebours as they are never set up properly. Brian

I'm sure I have seen LED assemblies that just plug into the slots that a 500 watt halogen bulb used to occupy.

So have I. Unfortunately, everything had seized on the old one that failed; hence me greasing the threads on the replacement...

They are s*it though.

I've certainly fitted a couple on our Village Hall.

I opened one up to see if the earth wire was flapping in the breeze (it was) the glass was removable but had a silicone gasket.

Not only that, since it is LED rather than halogen there is bugger all heat, so a bit of polycarbonate or acrylate (perspex) should be OK although it will eventually discolour. Come to that, wrap a few layers of cling film over it. Or a bit of that bloody tough stuff that is used for heat sealed "display" packaging with blown bubbles on the front and flat at the back. If you can find a big enough bit.
