Mine Head Lighthouse is an excellently preserved operational 19th century lighthouse in Old Parish, County Waterford, Ireland.[3]

George Halpin Senior designed the major light of Mine Head lighthouse. Constructed of red sandstone, the structure stands on top of the steep cliffs above the Celtic Sea.[4]

History

The lighthouse was built in 1851 and has a 22 m (72 ft.) white tower with a black band. It was converted to electricity in September 1964. The beacon flashes white and red every 2.5 sec. and has a range of 52 km (28 nautical miles).[3] A new light with a decreased range of 22.224 km (12 nautical miles) was installed in 2012.[5]
