In 1778 construction began on a new lighting system designed to counteract damage done to the lighting apparatus over several centuries of use.
The entire lighting apparatus includes the lights themselves, the physical structure which supports them, the cabling, control systems, dimmers, power supplies, and the light boards.
The front range light was a wooden structure with a lantern; the lighting apparatus was a steamer lens.
Electric engineering and lighting apparatus and system (August 14, 1877)
The lighting apparatus was made by master goldsmith Hossauaer from Berlin.
In 1902 this firm built and mounted the lighting apparatus.
The original lighting apparatus was, however, transferred to the newer lighthouse in 1842.
There are also two wings, which were added on the side after the lighting apparatus was changed.
It was reinforced and fitted with a new lighting apparatus in 1912.
The cells measured eight feet by five, and, had no lighting apparatus except a tiny.
