View Full Version : What Type Glass for DIY - PC fixture?

Should I be looking at a piece of plexiglass for the bottom of a 2x55W PC fixture that will be in a wood fixture? I've seen this done in one of the AH Supply examples, and it seemed pretty versatile - drillable etc.

I expect regular glass would be insufficient. Anyone done this?

TIA,

You DIYing ? :cool:

Don't buy that stuff at Rona/Revy....it warps instantly. I think they must use something different because the stuff on our Hamilton fixture sure doesn't do that. :confused:

We had the hood thing from AH and never used anything with the PC's.

Why the plexi-glass? If you are trying to increase your lighting levels I would not use the p-g.

I thought the idea was to keep splash off of the PC bulbs, hence the admonition (by the manufacturer) to only use these fixtures with a glass top?

Not sure why... perhaps they don't like splash like MH...
