Abstract
According to one implementation of the disclosed technology, a lens is provided. The lens includes one or more pieces of optical film configured for attaching to and modifying light from a light emitting device. The one or more pieces of optical film define: a lens aperture; a front light-emitting side of the lens; a back light-receiving side of the lens; and two or more edge trusses. The edge trusses are disposed towards the back light-receiving side of the lens. Each of the two or more edge trusses include one or more sides configured from a corresponding fold in the one or more optical films, wherein at least one of the one or more sides of each of the two or more edge trusses is configured at an angle relative to the lens aperture plane to impart support to the lens and to resist deflection of each edge truss.
