Shown here are workmen who are about to install a fake beacon in the Cattle Point Lighthouse in Friday Harbor, Washington for a 1984 Exxon-Mobil television commercial. The lighthouse never had a lantern room, so one was built for the lighthouse just for use in the commercial. The fake beacon was actually two radio beacons fitted together to look like a lens. After the commercial was made, the lantern room and fake lens were removed, leaving the lighthouse with its original headless look.
