The steampunk assembly indeed powered a lighthouse, on the Mediterranean island of Menorca at the promontory of Cavalleria.

The caption on what is now a museum exhibit at the lighthouse says:

"Chance 85 mm system, oil steam lighting equipment. It was in operation between 1914 and 1988. The last lighthouse of all the Balearic Islands where this system was used was here, at Cavalleria."

You people are so clever and knowledgeable,

John
