Know before you buy
The lighthouse is constructed from high-quality signboard plywood, a material chosen for its durability and resistance to the elements. Each piece is finished with a protective exterior-grade paint to help prevent weathering and decay.
Every model comes equipped with a built-in dusk-to-dawn sensor. This sensor automatically detects ambient light levels, turning the beacon on at sunset and off at sunrise without requiring manual intervention.
Yes, you can select from a standard 25W bulb, a rotating beacon for a more authentic lighthouse effect, or an energy-efficient solar LED system if you prefer not to rely on an electrical outlet.
No, the listed heights refer to the lighthouse structure itself. If you choose to add a base, it will increase the total height of the unit, so be sure to account for that extra clearance when selecting your size.
Yes, these replicas can be customized with a mini golf obstacle feature. This makes them a durable and thematic addition to both residential putting greens and commercial courses.
While the beacon is the primary light source, optional window lighting is available for select models. This adds a warm, inviting glow to the structure that mimics a real-life lighthouse at night.
