Well, I decided to clean up the inside of the light post, since I had to change the bulb anyway. I thought it would be easier to do if I took the glass out. Wrong...and in fact I broke one of the panes.
Hey, I figured with 70,000 homes, all with light posts, I probably am not the first to break a pane. I tried Ace Hardware at Southern Trace and they couldn't help me. As a temporary fix I glued the broken pane back with SuperGlue. I am not expecting it to last forever. Any ideas on where to get replacement glass for my light post? |

Lake Glass and Mirror in Leesburg, (352) 787-4700.
Another possible option would be to buy a glass cutter and a piece of glass from Michaels, Joanns, or Home Depot. |

Call home warranty, ask for the original manufacturer and model number (assuming this has not been previously replaced), contact the manufacturer to see if replacement glass is available. If (big if) the glass is flat, then previous suggestions may work, and you could try someone that does stained glass for a source if the glass is not perfectly clear.
The last result will be to replace the fixture with one that closely resembles the other fixtures on the house.

My lamppost has several small, flat glass pieces. I doubt that the fixture manufacturer would stock those individual glass pieces, but it is possible.

Ours was broken by home watch person at our first PV.. Replaced entire unit for $25. It was made if plastic, so not worth fixing glass

Get a new fixture. Much less hassle. Got one off Amazon 2 years ago for $25. There is (or was) some guy, one of the sign guys, always at Market Night at LSL selling them for $95 installed.

that said you can get a glass knife from ACO, along with the glass cut 2 easy to do, then you have a replacement
