Beacon Refractor:
A block that can change the direction of a beacon light beam when aligned with it. You can choose the direction by tapping on one of the block's sides. If you tap the side the beam is coming from, it just stops the beam from passing through.
Beacon Receiver:
When aligned with the beacon it activates like a redstone power source. You can also select it to work every time a beacon does not contact it. (Like a daylight sensor can be selected to work when daylight isn't present.)
Ultraviolet Glass:
A glass block that gives you an option to hide your light beams by making it invisible. Invisible light beams can regain visibility if it passes through normal or colored glass.
Infrared Glass:
Works the same as Ultraviolet Glass but makes the light beam blockable by players and mods. (Like how the gold pressure plate is a more weight sensitive version.)
I feel this could be very exciting and do so much for the redstone community in terms of long distance communication between devices.
I suggest 4 blocks to help harnessed beacons:

Support for the idea, but beacons seem too expensive for this kind of thing.
My suggestions: Enhancements - Throwable Fire Charges - On Phantoms and Elytra. Also check out The Minecraftian Language. This signature is not here to waste your space.
SUPPORT. Some really good ideas here. To expand on beacons in more ways/expand the endgame/creative use of beacons.
