Cape Henry Lighthouses

While the true Cape Henry lighthouse still stands guard over the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, your Cape Henry-style operational lighthouse, handcrafted in wood by a master Amish craftsman, will proudly stand guard over your home or garden. They are made of hardy T1-11 wood specially designed for the outdoors.The trim is arsenic-free pressure treated pine.

Solar Panels.Don’t want power cords in your yard? Then add a solar panel and let the sun power your beacon instead. Solar panels are available for the 4’ and 5’ models and with all options except the rotating head which is powered with a separate cord. The 4-bulb LED solar light is bright enough to light up a pathway and lasts through the night.

The colors that are usually in stock for immediate delivery are: navy blue and white, belmont blue and white, red (dark red) and white, hunter green and white, black and white. The other colors are available in 4-6 weeks.

Options available include:

Light bulb beacons. All models are equipped with a three foot cord to power the beacon day and night. All models, except the five-foot size, come with a non-blinking candle bulb; if you prefer a twinkle, add an optional blinker bulb. The five-foot model is equipped with a 40-watt bulb (wattage recommended by manufacturer). All bulbs are standard, so they’re easy to replace when it’s time.

Rotating head. For more fun, add an optional rotating head, available for four and five foot models. This feature continually spins the beacon 360 degrees for a true representation of an operational lighthouse. The rotating head is powered by an additional three foot cord that comes ready to plug in; it does not take power from a solar panel and is therefore not available along with the solar panel option.

Auto-light sensor. Our five foot model comes standard with an auto-light sensor that turns the beacon on at dusk and off at sunrise. Easy to remove, too, so you can let your light shine all day long, if you’d like.

Mix and match colors. No matter which size you choose, you’ll love mixing and matching your choice of primary (head, alternating body and trim) and secondary (alternating body) colors from our expansive color palette. The colors that are usually in stock are hunter green with white, hunter green with beige, navy blue with white, red with white, belmont blue with white, and black with white. The other colors might be a 4-6 week wait.
