A prismatic lens generally refers to any type of lens covered in small bulges or pyramid structures. Each small pyramid on the lens acts as a prism and causes light coming straight through the lens to refract (bend) sharply to one side.
The many small prisms effectively widen the beam of light.
These types of lenses are commonly used on flood lights and florescent ceiling fixtures to disperse the light over a wider area.

What is prismatic rod?

A prismatic rod is a solid, elongated object with a cross-section that is a geometric shape, such as a triangle or rectangle, and whose length is significantly greater than its cross-sectional dimensions. It is often used in optics and engineering to manipulate light or analyze mechanical properties. The shape of the rod can affect how it refracts light, making it useful in applications like lenses and prisms. In structural applications, prismatic rods are analyzed for their strength and stability under various loads.
