Awesome! didn't know there are working fuelpowered lighhouses till this day. I have always been interested in lighthouse and I'm collecting old tungsten bulbs from lighthouses. Just discovered your channel after I saw the video from Proper People. I live nearby the biggest working steam-powered pumping station in the world ( ir. D.F. Wouda Steam Pumping Station, Netherlands ) which is as we speak, working hard to get all of the excess water out of our reservoirs.

I am very grateful to hear Wouda Stoomgemaal is gainfully employed, that is a fantastic station with some unique engines. I know of Halfweg as well

As of about 2018, just this one for the time being which is something I'd like to correct.

I never realized those lenses were separate rings on a frame. Makes sense I suppose, way easier to build than a single lens with that profile.

I know that lighthouse well. I've spent many hours up there winding up the mechanism and carrying kerosene.
