The invention is a lens. The light transmitting portion of the lens comprises
a plurality of fiber optic strands arranged parallel to each other in a side-by-side
manner, forming a planar layer. The fiber optic strands are also inclined at an
angle to a surface of the lens. This defeats any reflection from the interior of
the lens, which gives virtual invisibility to the lens face or surface when the
light source is not in use. In operation, when a light source is illuminated, the
lens is then lit, displaying the color of the light source or of the color of the strands.
