Point Adams light in Hammonds, Oregon and Desdamona Sands Light on the Columbia River near Astoria are two Oregon lights that could be added to the list of desired West Coast lights. All other Oregon lights have been done.

Yup, That's it!!!
I agree 200%!!
If Harbour Lights ever does another 1st Order Fresnel Lens and the price tag is going to be over $125, which it probably will, it may as well be something that "STANDS OUT" or "POPS". The red sectors on the replica would make me Extremely happy!!
I am not going to hold my breath on this one, but what's the harm in wishing......

a fresnel lense and the light houses in the future would be great. The red fresnel lens first I think.

That is truly an amazing lens. It is totally worthy of replication by Harbour Lights.  Bob

It is a beautiful lens. It's been a few years since I was there last, but as I recall, the red comes not from red sections of the fresnel lens, but red plexiglas overlaying those sections.
Can anyone confirm or disuade me otherwise?

I totally agree. The Umpqua River Lens would be a great First Order Fresnel Lens to add to my collection.

I don't currently collect lens, but this one looks different and a replica would sure make those who collect them real happy.

The Umpqua River Lens is so unique. It's a great idea!
