💡The St. Augustine Lighthouse, completed in 1874, received a first order Fresnel lens from Parisian lens maker Sautter, Lemonnier & Cie. The lens has 370 individual prisms and weighs roughly 2 tons.
A 1000-watt light bulb currently serves as its light source, as it has since the tower was electrified in 1936.
