This light is situated at Egypt Point near the entrance to Cowes Harbour. The light was discontinued in 1989 and was handed over to the Local Authority in 1997 to be maintained as a landmark.
The lantern now stands by the entrance of the Trinity House Lighthouse Museum in Penzance. We took the picture to prove it in September 2004

I am not sure where the lantern is now ... maybe in the Museum at Hurst Castle ?
