Glass Shield for HQI Retrofit


For those who have used retrofit HQI systems, where have you gotten glass shields from?

Also what kind of glass do you use?
I know it needs to be tempered because of the temperature of the bulb, but are there any other specifications?

I'm not sure picture glass is tempered, but a framing store can certainly make you a piece to any dimensions.

You want to make sure you get the UV glass. Most of the picture framing stores do carry it but you have to ask for it.
