OK so typically shady stuff on Thingiverse is shady, but in this case shady is a good thing. I bought some of the Zuckeo LED landscape spotlights.

They are quite bright and the ones I had previously purchased at Home Depot (which had a high failure rate) had built in shades to make them way less glaring) so since these are facing down a path (I didn't want stand lights next to this path for cosmetic reasons) since to get people to our deck without going to the house they walk around the sides of the house during pandemic dining. So when I put these lights in, it is almost impossible to even look in their direction. So off to CAD to print these shades. They have a groove for zip-ties as while they friction fit really nicely, when the light/shades expand in the heat, I am not sure they will stay tight. So a zip tie will work perfectly. Now that all being said I am sure someone will comment in a panic that I used PLA in an outdoor situation! OMG!!! seriously these are not load bearing pieces and if they fail, who cares they 10 cents worth of plastic that I can remake at any time.
The piece is designed to print facing upright on the bed (flat edge down) and printed quite nicely on my Mk3S. I used Galaxy Black Prusament as it most closely matches the finish on the lights.
