November 04,  2014 An interesting bit of news from Valencia, Spain – a new 31 meter (102 foot) high automated lighthouse made of plastic. The future of modern lighthouses?

Aimplas assists composite lighthouse

The lighthouse consists of carbon fibre several-centimetres-thick tubular profiles support a set of fibreglass floors slabs and their bracings, which surround a central tube that leads the stairs to the upper part into the lantern room, all made with composites.

Would you like to buy a model lighthouse made of stone? It weighs 6000 pounds (2722 kgs) and will cost you $60,000 USD, but it is a beautiful work of art. More information here.
