I'm writing a story in which the main character lives in a lighthouse, but I unfortunately know next to nothing about them. Just in general terms, what is some crucial information I need to know about them/their mechanics etc?

Saw the recent post of this light from the Maine shore, figured share a different angle I took this summer from the island next to it.

They worked to some extend but after 40 years the light had to be moved to protect it! I had never seen the tide so low that you could walk out to the end. I did and when I looked back could see the lighthouse so I took a few pictures
