Murphy's
lighthouses are sculpted to scale and painted in
the distinct design of each
actual structure.
Although generic designs exist, no two lighthouses in the
world are alike. Each lighthouse has its own light signature and day
markings so 
sailors can tell where they are by identifying the lighthouse or its
light.
To date Murphy has duplicated over 360 different
lighthouses from around the
world. Extra detailing can include the lighthouse keepers dwelling, oil
houses, bridges, and so forth.
Lighthouses
are sculpted from North American hardwoods, stone or metal. Surfaces are
textured to resemble blocks, brick, concrete,
stucco or whatever the surface of
the real lighthouse.
Working lights are a part of each structure, while foghorns, fog bells or fog
cannon sounds are optional. The unique timing of the lights and sounds of
the fog devices can be controlled by a tiny microprocessor to duplicate that of
the original lighthouse.
