Replacing glass on MH fixtures

[D1J8Z]

I have had my fixture for a long time and the glass shields for my HQI bulbs are pretty stained. Whats the best route for replacing them?

This is a coralife fixture and I don't believe they sell replacements to the public and vendors able to order them?


Ideas?




Thanks
Dave

Why not just go to a glass shop nearby and have them cut a new piece for you?

Just is important to check out-I think there is a UV blocking quality to the MH glass, if you just put regular glass it can burn or bleach whatever you wanna call it-- your coral.

Dont just go with any old piece of glass.

Your best bet is to not run that light and order a news splash guard from the company that makes your MH pendant/fixture

This is good advice as all DE bulbs require a UV shield; SE bulbs have the shield in the outer glass. Look for posts from Dickens (James) back when he had MH, the shield cracked and bleached out everything under the lamp
