Hi , I'm Benjamin Mooney Pho for first

00:06.427 --> 00:08.760
class at Ace navigation team , New York .

00:08.760 --> 00:10.982
I'm a primary lighthouse technician for

00:10.982 --> 00:13.149
the Greater tri-state area all the way

00:13.149 --> 00:15.371
down from Sandy Hook to the upper parts

00:15.371 --> 00:14.579
of the Hudson River . It's a great

00:14.590 --> 00:16.757
honor to be able to do that at just 27

00:16.757 --> 00:17.757
years old .

00:21.299 --> 00:23.521
What's unique about co on lighthouse is

00:23.521 --> 00:26.239
that it is a legacy equipment . So that

00:26.250 --> 00:28.361
means that it's still the older style

00:28.361 --> 00:30.472
models when all the other lighthouses

00:30.472 --> 00:32.639
within the area we're upgrading to led

00:33.330 --> 00:35.709
is a six speed lamp changer that

00:35.720 --> 00:37.831
automatically detects when a filament

00:37.831 --> 00:39.887
is burnt out and it switches over to

00:39.887 --> 00:42.109
the new working one and it can do it up

00:42.109 --> 00:43.998
to six times . And there's also a

00:43.998 --> 00:45.942
rotating light beacon that emits a

00:45.942 --> 00:45.759
sweeping effect inside of the

00:45.770 --> 00:48.919
lighthouse with New York being the

00:48.930 --> 00:50.986
second largest port in the country .

00:50.986 --> 00:52.708
Coney on lighthouse is a vital

00:52.708 --> 00:54.930
importance to navigating safe waterways

00:54.930 --> 00:56.049
into the port of New York .
