A couple of days ago my brother threw a birthday party and when I wasn't home his dumbass friends thought it was a great idea to take out my BB rifles and start shooting random (...)... including my GE bucket light that I have lighting up my backyard. I just noticed this in the past hour. I am beyond pissed, this fixture is discontinued and I have no clue if I can even find a replacement bucket lense or even a universal one if those exist for this size fixture. If anyone can point me to a ebay listing or if you have this spare part I am more than happy to pay any price plus shipping... Because these bozos are paying for it, NOT ME! I have a photo of the damage and a general reference of what I am looking for. They are lucky they didn't shoot the bulb out.
Please excuse my language on this post because I have no other way of putting it other than being vulgar, I am that mad. Thank you.

Thank you both! I hope so too. I am searching as well but so far not so much luck other than a replacement lense on amazon for those standard cheapo yard ballasters. Not sure if I can remove the tin shroud on top and just use the plastic lense...

Geez, sorry that happened. Since I have the cousin to your fixture here’s what I know. The refractors are just the standard Lexalite 9” buckets, I believe the old ITT DR series amongst others used something along those lines. Here’s a eBay listing for a very similar Lexalite bucket. It’s not the cheapest option but I think I’d be the closest you could get. It’s 9.5” so I’d double check the diameter of the existing bucket. See Here

Thanks my man! When I get the chance within the next day I'll make sure if it would fit or not. I'll get back to here with the answer soon...

I JUST measured it, yes it is 9.5 inches! We have a winner! I'm scooping this up ASAP. Thank you for your help!!

Looks great with the new refractor! Serves them right for messing with other people's stuff and breaking it.
