Summary edit

Description The commercially-powered light is backed up by a battery-powered light equipped to switch on in case of power outage. An electronic sensing device also monitors the main light and activates the backup light in case of any type of failure. The clocks automatically turn on the equipment at sunset and turn it off at sunrise. A photoelectric cell alarm control system was formerly installed, which caused a bell to ring in the base of the tower and also in the nearby dwelling when the light failed. The system was removed during the war years. Built 147 feet above sea level, Diamond Head Light can be seen as far away as 18 miles and has an intensity of 60,000 candlepower.
