There are over 20,000 functioning ligIhthouses around the world. I have seen about 75 of them  over the years. 

Many of them on the Pacific coast and the Great Lakes 

Sorry it took so long to set up this next topic!

Fall portrait of the Grosse Point Lighthouse Museum in Evanston, IL on Lake Michigan. Of the five U.S. lighthouses on the Great Lakes that were equipped with second order Fresnel lenses (the largest order that was used on the Great Lakes), only Grosse Point Light retains its lens in place atop the tower. - Photo courtesy of Enjoy Illinois
