Apologies if this has been posted before. I searched on "LT1 shade" & didn't see anything that matched this.
A set of four silicone dog bowls were same price from Amazon as two or even one. That gave me some test subjects, the first being this green one. I'm satisfied with it, so I'll be duplicating this on a preferred yellow one.
I want to be able to use the bail along with the shade to hang the shaded light. I measured across the bail at the top of the head & came up with 50mm. Drew a line centered on the bowl, and pushed a heated nail into the silicone at the ends of the line. This should keep the cut from growing. This shows the cut ending at the holes.
Fits & works fine. I'll duplicate this on the preferred yellow bowl.
My light is factory stock. The bowl rests on the raised center of the head where the bolt enters. There's 5mm clearance around most of the remainder of the head for breathing room, and even more where the cutouts are for the folded bail. Does that allow enough space for air circulation to prevent the head from overheating?
