The lighthouse is a tower -like and glowing building. Depending on the different sizes and characteristics of the lighthouse, the lighthouse has a different division. The lighthouse is mainly distributed in coast, important channels, important islands and other places. The parallel light beams from the lighthouse can indicate the channel and direction. The lighthouse is like a guardian at sea, and has always guaranteed the sailing of ships.

The lighthouse illuminates the road for people who sail at night and guide people who get lost. Lighthouse silently waiting for ships at the sea, with great responsibility. During the time when the GPS positioning system has not developed, the guidelines for ship sailing need to rely on lighthouse. For a long time, the lighthouse stands by the seaside and has pointed out the direction for countless ships. The lighthouse is more than just a building that lights up in the distance with lights. History has given the meaning of the hero of the lighthouse. It is a symbol of loneliness and freedom, and a symbol of the guardian of life and the hope of forward.

The lighthouse is mainly composed of the tower body and the lamp. The tall tower body can adapt to and resist various harsh natural conditions, and can ensure the stability and durability of the lighthouse itself. The height of the tower body is determined by the light range.

Compared with the tower body, the lamp is the core component of the lighthouse, which guarantees the lighting function of the lighthouse. The lamps include a luminous device and optical radiator. Under the use of modern electricity, the lighting range of the lighthouse can reach about 30 nautical miles.
