Wanted: Aqualine/AB UV glass shield

Winters · #1 06-23-2006, 10:05 PM

Hi everyone!
Would anyone here have an AB/AquaMedic/Aqualine UV glass shield for their MH light pendants, such as my Ocean Light 250? I can't remember the actual dimensions now but they are about 4"x7"x1/8" or so. I've looked at Halogen lights' shields and none are the right size. I've gotten an order going from the manufacturer but I was hoping to either buy or borrow another glass shield in the mean time.

Any help would be quite appreciated.

Did the regular glass not work out?

Hi Imran,

Just go to a regular glass shop and get a piece of tempered glass at the size of the old one....

Hey Ryan!
Well, I tried regular pane glass from the glass shop and it works great for... about 2 minutes after which point one hears some snaps and pings.. and the glass is cracked. I didn't know it was such a big difference between standard glass and UV coated tempered glass.

Harvey, I've asked but noone in Canada tempers glass in that size. It's simply too small and will fall through their tempering machines.

I can get it done from the US but it will be more expensive than getting it from the manufacturer.

So I've ordered some new pieces from AB but in the meantime I was hoping someone could lend me a spare one if they have one.
