Nowadays, most lighthouses are automatic and do not require keepers. During the days of lighthouse keepers, the length of a shift depended on the location of the house - some, on the mainland, had tied accomodation and it was the keeper's full time job. Remote houses might have a 14 day shift.

They aren't that great to live in though, the rooms tends to be fairly small, often with a staircase running through them. Nice tro try, as they usually come with a spectacular view, but to really live in one you really gotta love stairs.
