Fresnel

Fresnel lenses resemble a planoconvex or planoconcave lens that is cut into narrow rings and flattened. If the steps are narrow, the surface of each step is generally made conical and not spherical. The convex surface is reduced to concentric ridges, to avoid overheating and to reduce weight. Fresnel lenses are flat rather than thick in the center and can be stamped out in a mold. Fresnel lenses are commonly used on spotlights. Lamps equipped with this lens are called Fresnels.
