is the lens on this glass or plastic and if plastic will it hold up to a 65w bulb that factory calls for?

The lens was glass and is good quality. It actually looks as if it came from the factory.

It's glass, and great quality. Honestly built just as good as original. Very easy to install, 3 screws if I remember correctly. You absolutely can't go wrong if you need a fog light and buy this one.

Majorly of plastic. The uv lens has a tendency to reflect back light. I don't use it. But it's still a great product and a must have in your lens kit!

Well, it's hard to say exactly, but yes. It is a metal. Not plastic or anything dlse. It is quite durable. I recommend it, but I put a warmer light fluorescent bulb (Cfr).

Its 0.5-watt bulb is protected behind a shatter-resistant lens and is ... 100,000 hours, so you don't have to worry about replacing it very often. If I ever have to, I would go to BatteriesPlus.com

I received this and the modeling bulb is pretty flimsy. Is it not supposed to be all times? Just when it flashes? Also, what is that metal attachment piece for that came in its separate plastic package? Is that a reflector holder? Or a spare? Thanks...

It isn't worth trying to take the lens off the metal. I only needed the lens too, but the whole thing changes with two screws. Just take the bulb out, take the two screws lose or out and put the new lens in place and put the screws back in, put the bulb back in and your done.

Without taking the lamp apart, I can't be 100% sure, but does not feel like plastic - getting the shade part of the lamp to stay on took work and now that it is on, prefer to not take it off to check. Has worked very well with an Ecosmart 120V bulb and, because you can move around, has been a versatile lamp , providing great light in our laundry room.

As far as I can tell, yes, the lens is glass, and not plastic. I have been pleased with this magnifier which I purchased to read hallmarks on sterling silver. It works well both due to the lighted magnification, but also because it is small and thus fits into tight spaces.

Shades are plastic actually. And it is not very study one. Funny enough, there was warning in the package that don't use bulbs over some wattage, otherwise plastic will melt :). The poles are some metal, not sure if it is brushed steel.

Glass. These are PAR bulbs - Parabolic Aluminized Reflector. The back of the bulb has a thin coating of aluminum that acts as a reflector.

I can only say mine is round and came that way. I can not answer for anyone else. Once mine was hung you can't tell it is plastic. For a real fussy person this might be "not good". For me and the purpose of the light and the price, I am satisfied with it. If you want glass then go shop for a high priced one.

I wouldn't recommend, this is an 85 w bulb, a great product though, I have bought several

The unit takes a standard Toyota (or Sylvania) bulb. My OEM bulb didn't burn out after 12 years, I only replaced it because a new bulb came with the lens unit. So, I'd say an OEM will last more than 15 months.

The shades are plastic, but a couple of years with compact fluorescent bulbs, and they're doing just fine. Can't answer for incandescent bulbs, though.All in all, it's worth the price :)

No. It is plastic. Good for preventing the accidental breakage of a light bulb but nowhere near of adequate strength for your application.
