Description
The first light was a prefabricated wooden tower 1.2m square, 5.2m high containing a second order dioptric light, shipped from Wales. It was visible for 18 miles (29km). The lighthouse ceased in 1911.
The light was replaced with a fifth order light in 1901 and with an AGA occulting lantern in 1912, on a 30ft (9.1m) skeleton steel tower in front of the Keepers Cottage. This was replaced by a tubular column in the 1980s. Sergeant Nelson, of the working party, became Point King’s initial lightkeeper.
