A lens for use in a light fixture provided to project a beam of light in a
first light pattern having a first cross-sectional geometry. A lenticular
lens element is supported in the fixture and movable into a position to
interrupt the beam of light for selecting beam shape by altering the first
projected light pattern from the first cross-sectional geometry to a
