Description David Wood 2010-01-18 16:53:49 UTC 
While translating DIA, I found the following phase:

Fresel lantern

The context of the phrase is light. (Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlight, black light, etc)

The closest approximation to this is on Mr. Fresnel that invented the Fresnel lens

Fresnel - French physicist who invented polarized light and invented the Fresnel lens (1788-1827)

Fresnel lamp
Fres`nel" lamp"\, Fres'nel' lan'tern \Fres'nel'lan'tern\[From Fresnel the inventor, a French physicist.] A lantern having a lamp surrounded by a hollow cylindrical Fresnel lens.
(from a dictionary)
