Summary
[edit]DescriptionLighthouse California-06621 - Point Pinos Lighthouse (21740122651).jpg |
English: Point Pinos Lighthouse was lit in 1855 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States and even the lens is original. Alcatraz Island Lighthouse preceded Point Pinos by 8 months, but was replaced in 1909 by the expanding military prison.
The present light source, located 27 m (89 ft) above sea level, is a 1 kilowatt bulb, which produces a 50,000 candela beam visible under favourable conditions up to 27 kilometres (17 mi) distant. Formerly, the light had a rigid schedule of being lit one hour prior to sunset, and extinguished one hour after sunrise. With automation completed in 1975, a small battery-operated back-up strobe light was installed outside the tower, and the main light was turned on permanently. The present signal has a simple 3-second on/1-second off signature. |
