lens for an AAA mini maglite

[Tengu]

I found the AAA version of the mini maglite.

But the glass is cracked.

Looking at it, the glass is `not` glass, its plastic.

I have plenty of suitable material...which would be best?

something suitable

sorry thats not helpfull, maybe a piece of acrylic or lexan of the same thickness, not jelly

Oooooh a sheet of geletine!

Yeah. Something like Lexan of a suitable thickness that you can easily cut to size and shape.

Oooooh a sheet of geletine!

if you use quality street wrappers you get a choice of colours!

Not just a disc of clear plastic but a tiny disc of clear plastic!

I'd be inclined to fit a red filter - just glue some sweet wrapper to the inside of the broken lens
