I kinda miss the manned lights.

Me too. I spent the better part of year assigned to Fowey
Rocks light station out in Biscayne Bay in the '60's.

The light had to be turned on each night...literally with a common light switch on the wall of the living room. If it didn't go on you had to run up the tower steps, open the lens and give the 1000 watt bulb a little nudge. Ah, the good ole days.
