Interior Ceiling Lamp Covers / Lenses

Post by jeff »

Hi All,

About 50% of the interior ceiling lamp lenses in my '83 Avion 34V are burnt, cracker, or chipped and after looking for a replacement have not found anything reputable online.

The attempt pictured below shows a somewhat clear replacement lens that was about 0.25 inches too large to fit.

Has anyone found something or someone to replace these - other than "call Cayo?" :)

Thank you!

I don’t know of a direct replacement. I think most just replace the entire fixture with an LED version. Here are some possibilities that may be worth looking into to see if the size fits...

Thanks both - after seeing how economical the fixtures are I decided to buy a bunch of those and replace them throughout the inside.

That’s probably a good idea. Just be sure to pay attention to the color temperature of the fixtures/bulbs. Around 3000k gives a more a traditional glow, 4000k a more clear/daylight color, and 5000k starts getting a bluish hue.
