Montauk Point Lighthouse - Historic Fresnel Lens REDUX Time-Lapse

After languishing in the Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum as a show piece for the last ~36 years, the stunningly beautiful 3-1/2 ORDER FRESNEL LENS that was used from 1903 until 1987 has been restored to service. Many local residents have longed for the return of the "REAL" light with its sweeping beam at the top of the Montauk Point Lighthouse... and now, at long last, after so many years, and so much hard work by so many people at the Montauk Historical Society the bright beam, or "loom of the light" we have craved seeing both from land and on the water is being restored to it's former glory! In the process the lamp has been upgraded with the state-of-the-art, super-bright, energy efficient L.E.D. technology. It is an ABSOLUTELY DAZZLING SPECTACLE both day and night!
THANK YOU SO MUCH to the Montauk Historical Society, U.S.C.G. & all those involved!!!

I remember the light beam rotating and flashing over Montauk and never giving any thought of why it vanished. Will it rotate as before or is it going to be stationary? Great job as usual. Drone star

[@montaukdronestar7710]

The beam will rotate as before, however, the timing is slightly different than in the past, so you will see the beam rotating a little FASTER than you may remember. There is discussion on reverting the timing back to it's original interval, but that will require alteration of nautical charts and much rigamarole... but either way, it's just fantastic to see the light again!! Thank you for watching!
