Quite a hindrance actually so I guess the smaller LED light works to your advantage.

I always think of the Goodies when I hear of someone staying at a lighthouse.They responded to a job advert that read " some light house keeping" and got more than they bargained for!!
Thanks Michael.

There are two cottages that each sleep eight, and a bungalow also. The LED light is probably adequate, given GPS navigation these days, but a far cry from the 1,000,000 candle power installed.

I had a laugh at the Goodies line! Their day/night schedule might have been turned upside down.
