The keeper, dressed in his traditional uniform with peaked cap, buttons gleaming, and a badge bearing the Trinity House insignia, is deeply focused on his task. His glasses perch on the bridge of his nose, and the dimly lit room is filled with the hum of electrical technology and the soft glow of lamps. The intricate machinery of the lighthouse, with its complex network of glass lamps and bulbs, is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of those who have tended to it over the years.
