Until recent decades, British lighthouses used tungsten (incandescent) lamps of high wattage (up to 3 kilowatts). Now they use compact discharge lamps of around 400 watts for economy. In times past, gas mantles have been used in some lighthouses.

Where do you dock when you have been to the lighthouse once on Ghost Story Island?

As best as can be determined, the original plan for the quest was to have you go to the lighthouse first when you get the boat (Kestrel). Then you would see the prison with the lighthouse searchlight, and go to the prison after setting up the thermometer in the lighthouse room. Then, when the prison was done, you would return to the beach (by the inn) and there get the message to return to the lighthouse. The lighthouse keeper and the locket from the wreck let you continue.
