I ran this over in the lighting section also - could find no rule against doing so, sorry if it's not allowed.

I have an Aquamedic 250 HQI halide pendant which is missing the glass shield over the bulb. Anyone know where I can order one? I've struck out on the 'net. Also - I understand HQI bulbs need the shield to protect critters from UV. Is there a specific glass I must use for this shielding? Is this shielding completely necessary? I could scavenge a shield from a 150 watt pendant I'm not using.
