Nailed in one of the steepest and isolated places of the island of Tenerife, on the End del Roque Bermejo and to average slope of the Tafada mountain. He is constituted by a slightly conical tower with white prismatic lantern, and building of the same color, with aristones gray.

LOCATION OF THE ANAGA LIGHT

Authentic relic of the past, is one of the few lights that conserve incólume and without great modifications between the constructed ones at the time of Isabel II, being of 1er order with light varied by sparkles. Auctioned works the 5 of 1861 July, with a budget of 524,210 real ones, the project was made by the engineer Francisco Clavijo. The same ones concluded in year 1863, igniting for the first time, the 15 of September of 1864. The stone for the construction, was extracted of cliffs near the loss of the Spot, of where Port of the Wood was transferred in boat until the call, a playita next to the small village of the Scrub in which the labrantes carved it. Of it raised there in mules until the place of the construction Classified of isolated and served by two fareros, they had assigned an indemnification by isolation of the 25 % of the pay, and another one of 40 % by residence in the island of Tenerife. It was provided with a catadióptrico apparatus and lantern acquired to the Lepaute house, with a steady light varied by sparkles and reaches of 35 miles. It illuminates an arc of horizon between the lines of vision thrown from the luminous center to the end of Drago and the End of the Roques de Anaga. Its primitive lamp, was a Degrand for olive oil. Later, one replaced by a regulator of piston and weight, equipped with Dotty burner for four wicks, that also oil used; paraffin, and finally petroleum, until the installation of the panels of solar energy. The 6,000 liters of petroleum, and the 2,000 of diesel oil that consumed the light in twelve months, once arrived in boat at the year, taking advantage of bonanzas September. The original apparatus, had 932 mm of focal length, turning on a circular car of disks, moved by a machinery of jewelry store of weight that illuminated a sector of 270º, and had a copper reflector silverplated by the part of earth, with three vertical lenses of the overall height of the optics, located to 120º, that they gave to returns every 9 seconds. The R.O. of 10 of March of 1921, to which they fixed the appearances future of the lights of the Canary Islands, gave for this: alternative sparkles in groups of 2 and 4, reason why were necessary to reform the apparatus according to project made by Herbella engineer, in 1924. For it, house B.B.T., connected three vertical lenses more to him, with a new plinth equipped with Cuba and floater of mercury, and a machine of rotation of the same manufacturer, with cord for 5 hours and 45 minutes, being inaugurated the 22 of November of 1928. Previously, the 28 of 1923 July, a system of incandescence by petroleum steam had been put in good condition to Chance pressure for hoods of 85 mm, with a lamp of Maris aid of two wicks. Since then, it presents/displays the appearance of groups of 2 more 4 white sparkles every 30 seconds

The building of a single plant, forms two adjacent rectangles. The main one has a central patio that distributes the rooms, and the second, is leaned to this by the part of the sea where is the tower of 12 meters of overall height, interlocked until half. The tower has 8.65 meters of height until the cornice where it is ends by balconcillo of iron. The tower is cylindrical, of 2.20 meters of height, supporting on him, a polygonal lantern of 16 sides with vertical posts and three flat crystals by each face.

LANTERN OF THE ANAGA LIGHT I separate optician from crystal carved of the Barbier house, consists of three bodies: the superior one formed by six catadióptricos ring panels, the power station by six fixed lenses of vertical section, and the inferior one by six catadióptricos ring panels. Around this fixed apparatus, it turns a system of lenses of horizontal section in number of eighteen panels forming six lenses that produce when turning the characteristics of the light. The mercury Cuba, contains 248 kg of this metal. The telescopic device suspends in its center, a smokeless one for the incandescence lamp. The rotation machine has two motors of house PINCHBAMAG, working one of them like main one and another one of reserve, fed 24 volts, by means of a speed governor. All the system, is controlled by a picture of automatism of lights.

Still, it remains the system of jewelry store with cord and its motor weight, that a duration of eight hours gives him, and that can be put in good condition in case of failing the main system of current. In December of year 1992, petroleum was eliminated, having begun to work with electrical energy through photovoltaic panels whom they feed a group on batteries to provide current to the lamps, and the rotation of the optics. The illumination system has two lamps multisteam to 220 volts and 175 watts, that give 150,000 lumina to 100 hours, where one is in good condition, and the other of reserve. They are mounted in an automatic changer in form of "V" that works to 24 volts. The photovoltaic installation is composed by 46 panels to 75 watts, marks BP, that they feed a group on batteries on 12 glasses on 2 volts, connected in series, to 3,750 Ah. c/u., with a shipper to regulate the load. It exists a generator set for the service of the house and reserves of the light. In addition, it is provided with the system of teléfaro installed by the technicians of Marine Signals of the Harbor Authority of S/C of Tenerife, like the control panel. Doctoral Tésis source of D.
