Custom size light panels?
I have lights in the kitchen with 3 light panels, the middle one broke. I went to Lowes and bought a new 2x4 panel and it was too small, by a couple of inches. They dont have bigger sizes and cant seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know where to get these or have any ideas what I can do?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums!

What is the make and model of your light fixture? A picture of one of the ones with an unbroken lens will help us see what you have now. See How To Include Pictures.

It is similar to this but has 3 panels and the panels are clear, does not have a design.

How big is each panel?

You may be able to have a replacement cut for you at Big Blue or Big Orange or a glass shop.

You may have to get frosted Plexiglas. I've never seen ceiling grid panels larger than 2X4.

Have no idea what Big Blue or Big Orange is?

Big Blue is Lowes; Big Orange is Home Depot.
