The Berlenga lighthouse, a reference point on the island, not only for navigation but also for those who visit it, was first mentioned in the Pombaline charter of February 1, 1758, which ordered it to be built.
The truth is that the Berlenga lighthouse would not come to fruition under this charter. An Ordinance of the Ministry of Finance of December 12, 1836, determines the construction, among others, of the Berlengas lighthouse, also instructing the engineer Gaudêncio Fontana of these new constructions and the improvement of the existing lighthouses.
The lighthouse came into operation in 1842. Installed in a tower 29 meters high, the equipment consisted of a catoptric device, made up of sixteen Argand lamps, running on oil, with parabolic reflectors, giving white light, eclipses every 3 minutes and 10-second flashes. It already had rotational movement activated by a clockwork mechanism.
Two temporary lights were turned on in 1896, until a new hyper-radiant optical device was finished. This device would only begin to function definitively on November 6, 1897, performing a complete rotation in 30 seconds, presenting in this time a group of three lightning bolts. The temporary headlights were removed. In the meantime, the source of light became incandescence caused by oil vapour, producing the rotation of the optics through the watchmaking machine.
The lighthouse was electrified through generator engines in 1926, the light source becoming a lamp, whose luminous intensity was around 27,000,000 decimal candles, guaranteeing a luminous range of 36 miles.
From 1985 onwards, a small tractor was used to transport materials from the pier to the lighthouse. In the same year, the lighthouse was automated, removing the hyper-radiant optics and installing a PRB 21 in its place. One of the optics panels is in the DF museum and the other in the S. Marta lighthouse museum.
The lighthouse and residences started operating on solar energy in 2000, with the old device being removed (PRB 21). A modern high-performance rotating beacon (TRB-400) was installed, with an estimated luminous range of 20 nautical miles, and low-consumption equipment was installed in homes. He stayed with generators in reserve. The CEFA 1000 buzzer was replaced by a LIEX 710-23.
The National Defense and Environment Award, which aims to encourage good environmental practices in the Portuguese Armed Forces, was awarded to the Directorate of Lighthouses in 2001, for the application submitted by the Portuguese Navy, “Solar Energy at the Berlengas Lighthouse”.
In 2009, the modern high-performance rotating lighthouse (TRB-400) was removed and replaced by two LED optics.
