Full proposal: The proposed works at Rathlin East Lighthouse are required to retain the rotating light including the rotating Fresnel lens and visible flash character while allowing the removal of mercury and diesel generation from the lighthouse. The existing Fresnel lens will continue in operation by installing a mechanical rotational ball bearing race below the lens replacing the mercury used in the existing rotation system. The mercury will be removed from the site for responsible disposal by a specialist contractor. The works will reduce the lighthouse's environmental and operational footprint. It is intended to replace the existing light source with a low-energy LED light source this will enable the replacement of the existing diesel generator and fuel storage with a battery system in the event of mains electrical failure.
