We show, theoretically and experimentally, that a sheet formed by two confocal lenticular arrays can flip one component of the local light-ray direction. Ray-optically, such a sheet is equivalent to a Dove-prism sheet, an example of a METATOY (metamaterial for light rays), a structure that changes the direction of transmitted light rays in a way that cannot be performed perfectly wave-optically.
