Point Cabrillo Lighthouse is in northern California, just south of the community of Caspar. The lighthouse was constructed by the Lindgren Company beginning in 1908, and began operation in 1909. Its first light keeper was Wilhelm Baumgartner, who held the position until 1923. In 1935, an air diaphone supertyfone sound signal was installed.
The light is only 9.8 m (32 ft) above the ground, but because of the height of the headlands it stands 25 m (81 ft) above sea level. It was originally lit by a kerosene lamp and turned by a clockwork mechanism but this was replaced by an electric light and motor in 1935. The present light uses a single 1000-watt electric filament, the light from which is magnified by a factor of one thousand by the lens, and spins once every 40 seconds producing a flash every 10 seconds.
The restored lighthouse was opened to the public in August 2001, and used in filming the Warner Bros 2001 drama film The Majestic.
