Fog Beam - Wide beam with a sharp vertical cut-off, making it street legal for foggy, rainy, snowy, or dusty conditions.
The lens first devised by Augustin Fresnel (pronounced fraynel) (1788-1827) is a beehive shape of concentric annular sections that cast parallel beams of light. Comprised of 282 individual prisms, the first order lens can cast a beam of light that can be seen from more than 20 miles. Seguin’s lens was crafted by Augustin Henry-Lapaute of Paris and installed in 1857. The original lamp was lit by kerosene and burned about 2 gallons per hour. In 1907 it was changed to vaporize the oil and the wicks were replaced by a mantle. In the 1950’s electricity came to the island and the lamp was replaced by a thousand watt high powered electric bulb, which is still in use today.

The keeper’s wives had to clean all the prisms of the lens regularly. A shard of the glass protecting the lamps in the original 1795 wooden tower is on display in a case in the museum. The original dimensions of the octagon wooden 1795 tower are marked in the ground at the original tower site.

Flood Beam - Typically used as work, scene, camp or back-up lights to see a broader area with a shorter distance.
In 1853, is was recommended by the Lighthouse Board that the new tower should be a First Order Station because of the importance of shipping on the Kennebec and Sheepscott Rivers. When the new/current tower was erected, the rare First Order Lens was installed.
