You may be thinking of a Fresnel Lens. This is a lens of large diameter, but which is made to be compact size and weight by consisting of a series of concentric circular prisms. This still behaves as a large diameter lens, but with much reduced mass.
Augustin-Jean Fresnel, a French physicist and engineer, developed the Fresnel lens in the early 19th century. His design revolutionized lighthouse technology by focusing and intensifying light for increased visibility over long distances.
A fresnel lens is a type of magnifying glass itself. NOT the most familiar type like sherlock holmes used. You can find fresnel lenses stuck to the back window of vans, in lighthouse lenses. any magnifying lens that has concentric ridges to achieve the magnification effect only using a thin lens.
It is a lighthouse.

Another type of lens is the opposite called a reducing lens.
