Lighthouse Lamps in Artistic Resin

 

Lighthouse Design

I’ve looked through pages and pages of lighthouses in WikiMedia Commons. My favorite design from a position of strength is the tapered hexagon. I envision a foundation constructed on granite rock. That is why there are rocks submerged in the hexagon base. The foundation supports six walls that fit together with a beveled edge. I wanted a light inside the lens room to illuminate the brass spiral staircase. The brass tube in the middle hides the power cable to the blue-green LED light. The staircase winds around the tube from the base to the widow’s walk, also a hexagon shape. The graphic painted on the widow’s walk appears clearly to sailors at sea in the daytime. The patterned circular lens reminds me of the refracted light from the many prisms and makes a cool pattern on the wall. Lastly, a round peaked roof with a finneal cries out with black and then white, alternately, around the 360° circle of the 25 watt 12 volt light.

Close-up view of top of model lighthouse. This is the lens or lantern room. The light hasn’t been installed yet but will be set atop a brass tube running through the center of the lighthouse and supporting a brass spiral staircase. The black and white box is the “widows walk” in a hexagon shape like the walls.
