Just use paper for the lens. If you want to make it more durable have
it laminated, (or lacquer it). If you want to be tricky print a mirror image and mount
it with the back facing the viewer.

I would also like to have some way
for that person to reset the light at the shelf when they picked up
their clothes (I'm guessing this would be an argument for the original
switch to be near the shelf so the same switch can be used to both
activate and reset the indicator)

that would be easiest...

One final thing that would be nice but is not required would be a
medium-volume buzzer that sounded whenever anyone's light was activated.

have it sound at activation for a short period (like with the airplane),
or continuously while the lamp is lit?

As I said, this is more of a learning expereience for me than anything
else. I am wanting to know what parts I'd need, how best to go about
assembling the system itself, and anything else I need to know. Thanks
in advance for any help!

Tis the season for low voltage lamps to be had for cheap, or free.

Bye.
