I would imagine you’re best off crafting a replacement lens yourself out of suitable materials. A plastic milk jug would probably do the trick.
To figure out the model, you might be able to position your phone to take a picture of the backside - it might be imprinted on the light back there.
Good luck! Welcome!

Uncanny deja vu here, I just smashed exactly this part of my security light and fixed it with a piece of milk jug! It does work but the sensing is a little iffy, it turns out the original plastic piece is a lens of sorts to direct the infra red (or whatever it uses)

Thanks all, the link is the exact same.

A milk jug is just diffused.
“Lenses” on pyroelectric sensors are faceted, chopping up what it sees into zones.
Someone walking past the former would just register a slight rise and fall when coming into and going out of range.
Someone walking past the latter would create sharper starts/stops for each “zone” he’d cross.
Think of someone shining a light at you when walking next to a picket fence, first holding the light above the fence, then shining the light through the fence.

That’s v interesting, I had wondered why it had facets.
Update found a Pir sensor lens but doesn’t look like I can take out the old one. Can’t find a video of how to do this or if it’s even possible with this model
