The light originally had a fourth order Fresnel lens but was replaced with an airport style beacon in 1973. The Delaware Breakwater Light worked in conjunction with the much more powerful Cape Henlopen Light until its demise in 1926. This light was deactivated in 1996. The exterior of this lighthouse was renovated in 1999 and is used as a day marker.
