This is really good stuff!
I just got this email today as I am a member of the Barnegat Light Historical Society. (New) Besides the glass of course, they are outfitting it with lighting that will duplicate it's original effect. They can do a lot more with much less consumption today. Believe me, I see the effects of lighting technology every day in my work. They are using a mere 100watt lamp and according to the president of the "Friends of Barnegat Lighthouse State Park", with Fresnel effect they'll get the same 21 mile visibility. Very cool. No doubt in my mind they can do it. The unit is also timed to one revolution per minute and to flash every 10 seconds, another duplicated feature of the original. Get this, it works off a 12v deep cycle battery and charger as the unit was made for remote areas where power is unnavailable. I really hope to be there if I can New Year's day. If all goes well they intend to put it into service just after 5:00 P.M.
I am excited.
