	Lighthouses of England's Channel Coast
		The original lighthouse, atop the cliff, was demolished in 1980 because it had become unsafe; it is said that its foundation, weathervane, and entrance gate are preserved on private property.
		This lighthouse was originally 36.5 m (120 ft) tall; it was reduced in height in 1875 because the light was too often obscured by low clouds and fog.
		The lighthouse was built 30 m (100 ft) from the edge of the cliff, but by the 1990s erosion had brought it nearly to the edge.

	Navis.gr - Lighthouse
		The history of lighthouses is filled with tales of lighthouse keepers, the men who once lived in or near the lighthouse whose light it was their responsibility to keep burning.
		Lighthouses are built on shore, on offshore reefs, or are moored in the seabed.
		Because lighthouses, lightships, and buoys are often located in remote, hard-to-reach places, the power used to operate them is usually derived from diesel generators located at the site or, in the case of buoys, from replaceable electric batteries.

	New Dungeness Lighthouse
		The first mention of a lighthouse at Dungeness was in about 1600 when Trinity House reported against a proposal for a light at Dungeness Point and declined an invitation of the King's Privy Council to erect one.
		A coal fire continued to light Dungeness in I746, but the position of the lighthouse was complained of as being misleading; the sea had receded.
		an electric light was installed, thus Dungeness became one of the first lighthouses in England to be illuminated by this means, but this form of lighting was subsequently superseded by a huge oil lamp of 850 candle power surrounded by glass prisms which increased the illuminating power by a hundredfold.
