Lens Information
The current light at Point No Point is an automated VRB 25 acrylic lens. The original lens was installed in February 1880 and was a Fifth Order Fresnel Lens. However, that lens didn’t shine out far enough and was replaced with a Fourth Order Fresnel Lens in 1915. The original Fifth Order Lens was transferred to the “new”, Point Robinson lighthouse, on Vashon Island.
