Replacement spotlight shades

Grrrr...came home to find a hangdog 12 year old. He and a friend thought it was really fun to swing something around the living room, and one of the glass shades on the spotlights is broken.

I've already checked where I got the light fitting from, and they don't make it any more.

What I need, if it's available, is a set of three replacement glass shades in order to change them all. It's a three-way GU10 spotlight fitting, and the shades slip over the outside and attach with three screws. Failing that, a cheap spotlight with plain and compatible glass shades that I can cannibalise....

I've had no luck so far Googling or on ebay, but maybe I'm not using the correct key words?

Thanks for any help!

    And the shade, 4cm in diameter across the top (narrow) end.

    I think the chances of finding 'compatible' glass bits are slim.

    You could just remove the other 2 shades, at least they'd all match.

    Argos have a range of GU10 triple spots for £15 - £30+ but I see you're using LED equivalents, which are a bit harder to conceal and look nice.
