The classic clear plastic package with a round dome actually makes a pretty 
good lens.

Most/many LEDs are available in 2 or 3 beam widths.  It's just a matter of 
how far the LED is from the focal point.  If you get 2 different ones and 
look at them from the side the difference in position is obvious.

Of course, the wide ones aren't as bright.
