Where have you looked and what are the caps for? Where did you get this one?

Do you have any dimensions. Looks like a black plastic base, maybe 25mm dia with a clear twist lock top.

As already asked, where did you get the image from in your post? What was it described as?

25mm-50mm is the area I am searching for, I got the picture off a laser tag website. I'm trying to make ir receiver sensors. They are described as sensor caps but they're 20$ for 1 unfortunately.

I just need a protective cap, I'm not sure if a lens would work well with receiving ir?
