Lighthouse used in a sentence

Lighthouse in a sentence as a noun

It would be a lighthouse on the rocks, looking over the wreckage of countless ships, warning us to stay away.

To say we're 'sheltered' is similar to, say, the way a lighthouse is 'sheltered' by being built of the right stuff and having a strong foundation.

We're right on the Pacific coast to the tower was inland and behind a hill so it couldn't be mistaken for a lighthouse by passing ships. The tower and shed are still there and are used for communication antennas.

I'm not sure what else PowerDNS could have done in this situation, and I can only imagine their teeth gnashing when they found they'd lost a lighthouse user. Typically, lighthouse customers almost always also pay for support.

The common example is the beam of a lighthouse. Suppose a lighthouse revolves once per minute. At one lightyear distance from the lighthouse, the angular velocity of the beam is 2*Pi lightyears per minute, which is much faster than the speed of light.

How do you suggest we finance lighthouses without arresting people and putting them in prison for the crime of walking down a road that happens to be in line of sight of a lighthouse while not wearing a company-approved blindfold? As a libertarian I think we should seek a smaller role for government in people's lives.

It is hard to check if you don't have a map to check against, but in the waters I used to sail in Norway, all lighthouses seems to be there, but no rocks or areas with shallow water are marked, which makes the map useless for navigation there. This may come, but before it is there, it's not safe to navigate using these maps. I also dislike that the line extending from the lighthouse sectors are not drawn, as that is very useful when navigating at night.

If someone said, "I'll bet you a hundred thousand dollars that I won't blow up that lighthouse", I'd say, "No thanks." , since the outcome of the bet is entirely in the hands of the person making it. Well of course. Why do you care if the lighthouse is destroyed? The counter-party to the bet is anyone who actually wants the lighthouse destroyed and are willing to pay to see it through.

Unfortunately, a well-designed claim can circumvent this restriction: "The lighthouse will be destroyed in 2015 and the criminal group will broadcast a string hashing to 'cc9a1595600ebb745ec2cea73e80aad5' one second before the explosion". This gives no useful information to the police, but it's enough for the criminal to unambiguously identify himself.
