After three weeks of field testing I found out that these stand up well to the summer heat, but the incandescent light bulbs melt them after about 4 hours of continuous use. Would probably be okay with an LED light though.

Searching for a better resin designed for high heat.

Jeff,

I have an LED in my light if you want me to test.

I have sad news. This interesting part has been put on hold for manual manufacturing. But I found this lens readily available for sale here, and have purchased three myself. Unfortunately I cannot justify spending dollars developing a part others have perfected. Hope this helps you all!

Thank you for that link! I wonder where they are getting those?
Not too long ago, you could not find those available commercially ANYWHERE!

It’d be nice if the entire fixture were available. Anyone find a source for that?

Inland now says "Backordered" so I think maybe you should go back into development, because I cannot find them anywhere and I need 4 of them!
