Fresnel, again

THIS is a first order Fresnel lens. As you can see, I got dressed up for the visit. A single candle inside of this baby could be seen 17 miles away. As luck would have it, the ship carrying construction materials and workers to build the lighthouse wrecked on the bar at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1853, delaying construction for two years.
