Classification lenses

Post by Mjordan »

Not sure if there is a previous thread about this. I do recall someone else giving me the part#. But here is how well these lenses fit and how good they look.

Part number to light cover is CR104PXL07C
Found a few on eBay

I trimmed off the cap with my band saw. Then took the edge to a bench grinder to shape down to the proper size for the fixture.

BTW, the last letter in the part number is the color. They are available in several colors.

One of our club members sent me this link to a fresnel lens provider. I ordered two lens, each a different size and have been happy with what they sent me. Haven’t installed them yet, but they are indeed fresnel style and made of glass! I plan on using colored LED bulbs with the clear glass lens.

I wish I could order glass ones for my engine. These are more 12mm diameter. Smallest I see on that eBay post is 50mm.

I know these do not have the Fresnel pattern, but they are available in many colors and many sizes.
