About Point Arguello Lighthouse
The current light at Point Arguello was established after 1934, succeeding a skeletal steel tower built that year. This replaced the original lighthouse erected in 1901, which featured a white square tower connected to a keeper's dwelling. The first structure utilized a fourth-order Fresnel lens, originally from the Point Hueneme Lighthouse. This light serves the Santa Barbara Channel along the Gaviota Coast.
Background
Point Arguello Lighthouse is a lighthouse on Point Arguello in Santa Barbara County, California, serving the Santa Barbara Channel on the Gaviota Coast adjoining Vandenberg Space Force Base near the city of Lompoc, California.
The original Point Arguello lighthouse, built in 1901, had a white square tower attached to a one-story keeper's house. It had a fourth order Fresnel lens, which was transferred from the Point Hueneme Lighthouse. The tower was replaced in 1934 by a square pyramidal skeletal steel tower, which was in turn replaced by the current post light.Light & Optic
