This is totally normal as your revolving beacon is designed with a bi-directional motor so that if it feels tension or binding, it will stop and rotate in the opposite direction. This prevents the motor from burning out and keeps your beacon running smoothly. Therefore, you may notice that one time you turn it on it will rotate clockwise, while the next time it rotates counter-clockwise.
More than likely, there are three possible reasons for your rotating beacon not to be revolving. Firstly, it could be that the beacon has been overtightened to the junction box, preventing it from turning freely. Secondly, the nut on the bottom of the beacon could have come loose and the gears are no longer lined up. Lastly, the motor may have burned out and needs to be replaced.
Here’s a short video to help: Wobbling Beacon
Here is a video explaining how to alter the beacon to fit inside light kit 01:

All of our lighthouses have a base plate and this is how you can secure it to any surface.
When anchoring it to the ground you can do something as easy as using garden stakes or tent stakes and staking it to the ground.
For a more permanent or theft deterrent solution you can always pour a concrete slab and lag-bolt it to the slab.
When anchoring to a wooden boat dock or deck you can simply just screw it fast.
Alternatively, some of our customers have purchased a large 24″ patio pavers and have adhered or use tapcons to secure the lighthouse to the paver.
Or if you do not want to be bothered with any of this then you can always upgrade and order one of our rock bases and easily secure it to this.

Again, you will use the lighthouse base plate to anchor to ANY surface.
Our Poly, Hybrid, and Wooden Lighthouses are all hollow.
Our Stucco Lighthouses are not hollow. However, if you purchase our Rock Base accessory you can cover something with this and then attach the Stucco Lighthouse to the Rock Base.

Yes If you add an optional Poly Base it will increase the overall height of your lighthouse. Below is a size chart to help. So for example if you order a 5′ Lighthouse and then get the optional base the lighthouse will now be 5′ 10″.

Yes, EVERY Lighthouse we sell comes standard with a regular electric light with a 40 watt bulb. You will also get 8′ of exterior grade wire and plug that you can plug into any standard outlet.
Now you can always upgrade and add additional Lighting Accessories like: Revolving Beacons, Solar Beacons, Electric Fresnel Lens ,or Low Voltage Lighthing.
The difference is the top housing and the revolutions or flashes per minute. 🌟
So this is what I always tell my customers. If you are going for authenticity and you want a slow revolving beacon then go with the Deluxe Beacon or the Liteman Beacon. As these beacons have 2 mirror backers and one bullet fresnel lens. 🔥
If you want a faster or brighter light then go with the Beacon 01 as this has more flashes per minute and more light output. Usually businesses go for this option as they want to draw attention to their store front or booth at a trade show.
Please watch the videos on our Revolving Beacon Page to for more details and watch them in action: 💥
The difference is the Deluxe Beacon is powder coated Black in color and also features a motor on/off switch. 🔥
Thus with the deluxe you have the option of turning off the beacon motor and having just a stationary light and then turn it back on and have a revolving beacon.
You kind of get the best of both worlds with this option. Or if your not sure you would like a revolving beacon then the Deluxe is perfect because then you can turn it on or off whenever you would like.

We have specially made boxes that were designed specifically for our lighthouses. 📦
We use a double wall 275lbs crush test box and totally encase the lighthouse with foam for shipping safety. 🚐
We take great pride in our shipping, and we over pack everything. 😆
This is what I always tell my customer: 😃
If you are going for authencity and you want the WOW factor then 100% go for the Deluxe Stucco Lighthouses. 🔥
These lighthouses are by far the BEST quality lighthouses on the market guaranteed.
Now if you do not care so much about authenticity and you are looking for 100% maintenance free our Poly Lighthouses would be a great option.
Now something to note with the Deluxe Stucco lighthouses that really seperate it from all others is that in 10 years from now you can totally refurbish and re-paint your lighthouse and make it look like the day you got it. 💥
Please Note you can NOT do this with the poly lighthouses. Poly lighthouses are not painted as the color is infused in the product during the manufacturing process, thus once the colors fade over time there is NOTHING you can do to bring it back to the original color.
We only use high gloss Marine Paint from Sherwin Williams. In my opinion this is the best quality marine paint on the market. 🔥

Here is some more additional details or advice for installing the plastic windows and doors to your E-line Stucco Lighthouse.
1) Take a fine grit sandpaper and sand the back side of the windows and doors to take off the gloss sheen as this will help to promote bonding.
2) Take a hair dryer and put the setting on hot and put it on the windows and door. Then what I like to do is pre-form the window and door and around my forearm. This will then bend and mold the window and door to the desired curve you’re looking for. Then hit it again with the hair dryer and then do #3
3) Use Gorilla Super Glue Gel. It dries quickly and is amazing. It is also totally clear so it will not leave any colors on your lighthouse. Simply take a small bead and apply all around the outside edge of the window and door and attach it to the lighthouse.
4) Next, have a few strips of painters tape ready and apply the tape on the windows and door. This will hold the windows and door in place while the glue is drying.
I personally use the green painters tape as this has more adhesion then the blue painters tape as this is made for drywall.
As our website states we do not install the windows and doors for 2 reasons : 1) several people like to add and put the doors and windows on several different sections of the lighthouse so this way you can put them anywhere they want them. And 2) is E-line stands for economy line and we are trying to keep the prices as low as we can so yes adding the doors and windows takes time and especially if customers order another 6-8 windows it gets crazy with window and door location and it get way to time consuming thus we would have to charge more time for this work and again the entire reason for the E-line is to keep the price lower.
Yes we offer a full selection of Revolving Beacon Replacement Parts and Bulbs:
- Replacement Bulbs, LED, Halogen, and Regular
- Motor and Gear Set
