Built in 1838 to mark the north entrance to the Menai Strait, the lighthouse is one of over 30 across Wales.
Originally manned by two keepers, the lighthouse now stands empty, with no keepers living there since 1922, and it is now operated from Trinity House`s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.
Earlier this year the lighthouse was at the centre of its own storm, when Anglesey council approved plans to replace the hazard warning bell with a standard foghorn.
The hazard warning bell had rung around the clock every 30 seconds since 1922, and there were claims the replacement with a foghorn would damage tourism.
But Trinity House, the authority for lighthouses in England and Wales, had said the old system was no longer reliable for mariners and the new device was simpler to operate and maintain.
A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a beacon for navigational aid
