The Fresnel lighthouse lens fabricated for the movie was a functioning and historically accurate reproduction, which, through its intense reflective capacity, allows light to be visible for 16 miles. Director Robert Eggers and cinematographer Jarin Blaschke discovered it during a research trip to Northern California. They visited Point Cabrillo, the site of a lighthouse dating back to 1909, featuring a working Fresnel lens. There is only one team, Dan Spinella, Lens Preservationist and Kurt Fosburg, U.S. Coast Guard Lampist, that manufacture the lenses today. The team worked with Production Designer Craig Lathrop who directed them to create the style lens he had envisioned.
