The Pemaquid Point Lighthouse was originally built with a parabolic reflector as a light which was lit by candles and had a visibility of 2 miles. In the early 1850s, Augustin Fresnel invented a superior way to focus light which could be seen as far as 20 miles away. The majority of US lighthouses switched to Fresnel lenses.
