Why remove the rotating lense? I can appreciate fitting an led bulb but it will look stupid... Coming here on holiday shortly and was looking forward to seeing it sweep ☹️
Having visited the lighthouse and been on a tour I now know what's happening. The rotating lense floated on a mercury bath and the EU outlawed them (before Brexit). Saw the old 1000w metal halide bulbs, it had 2, a main one and a backup. Really interesting. If they can find another way to float the lense they may bring it back fingers crossed 🤞.
Thanks for watching and commenting. It was quite eerie. What sounds like a bell is the foghorn which, apparently, can be heard for several miles out at sea.
