Notes

Each lighthouse flashes in its own pattern and is painted in its own stripes or colors, so sailors can tell which one they are looking at, by night or by day. Many use a special lens, invented by Augustin Fresnel in the 1820s, that gathers the light into a strong beam.

This lighthouse starts with its beam sweeping around. Tap to switch the light off, and tap again to switch it on. Pick the color of its stripes in the Splash tab.
