I've ordered a pair for "engineering evaluation" and will report asap. At $3.49 each, they will be good for =something=, ie, a rudder-top strobe enclosure ? FWIW, the spam-can TC'd Grumman-American airplanes use a PMA'd tip lens from LP Aero Plastics. While their tip lenses would be good for any homebuilt needing a similar part, at ~$40 each they are 'way too pricey for what they are: a thin, ( ~0.040" or less ) shape of a soft, flexible plastic ( polycarbonate ? ) and are cut to final fit with kitchen scissors.
