Third Order Beehive Fresnel Lens light - with model


otterine

Jasper Inlet Light is slated for breaking ground in 2014, based on current workload. :D But, I've been thinking about the lantern room from the beginning, figuring that would be one of the more difficult things to do.

While I was searching around online for options, I stumbled across the Harbour Lights Fresnel lens collectible series from the early 2000s. I lucked out and found this particular model new at City Lights Collectibles for a great price.

It is roughly 8 1/4" high including the wood base. The glass itself measures 5 5/8" tall. The glass portion is attached to the dark green plastic base, so the entire removable unit measures 7 1/8" high. The model here is 5 3/4" tall.

I found a reference stating that third order lenses are roughly 4' 8" tall, though I'm not sure if that means only the glass or the metal base as well. Even if this replica isn't exactly 1:12 scale, I think it will make for a beautiful lantern room. I will use it without the wood base for a more realistic look.
