A lighthouse typically consists of several key components, including a light source, which can be a bulb or LED, to guide ships; a lens system, often a Fresnel lens, to magnify and focus the light; and a tower structure to elevate the light above sea level. Additionally, many lighthouses are equipped with a foghorn for sound signaling in low visibility conditions, as well as a power source, which can be electrical, solar, or powered by generators. Some lighthouses also include a dwelling area for lighthouse keepers and navigational aids like radar or GPS systems.
