This shade makes them into task lights that won't shine in your eyes, while still allowing plenty of ventilation for dissipating heat. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FAM54K8 I printed mine in silver PLA, and I will update this posting if I discover any issues with them down the road.

At full brightness, you can still hold your finger on it, so I don't anticipate any issue with it softening the PLA. 2/27/2020: Uploaded an improved design. Clips are more robust to maintain firm grip on lamp. End is closed off and outer shell is uniform 2mm thickness. Now a slicer set to .5mm extrusion width can do the entire toolpath with minimal retractions, making for cleaner print. Recommend bottom 10 layers have zone of 100% infill, with rest of object 0% infill, 2 perimeters.
