In the old days there were glass domes for housing incandescent indicator lamps on electronic equipment. Some of them were very robust, and weatherproof. Does anyone know if this sort of thing can still be obtained in small quantities anywhere? I need something for photosensors to be mounted outside. It needs to be UV resistant, so glass would be better than plastic. TIA
What about a coolant / gear oil sight glass - glass or polycarbonate????
Perhaps from RS, Blackwoods / Atkins or some other machinery parts supply co.
What do they use to cover the sensors on commercial auto night light sensors, or on street light sensors (if they have them that is)?
What about the domes used on outdoor security cameras? Jaycar have a range of them for their "fake" camera housings. Bunnings sell UV resistant clear polycarb sheeting in at least two different thicknesses. You could cut some to size to fit a small jiffy box as the lid. Or what about those new clear jiffy boxes, would they pass sufficient light?
