Bring history to light when you build the Lighthouse of Alexandria from Ugears! This majestic wooden model lighthouse is an imaginative recreation of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—the giant lighthouse built by Ptolemy I and Ptolemy II in the third century BCE at the western edge of the Nile River delta in Egypt. In a first for Ugears, the Lighthouse of Alexandria has electrical components that light the model from within, making it a beautiful, warm, functional nightlight.
Crafted from art-quality 3mm composite wood, the model also incorporates electrical components, bulbs and an acrylic lens. Powered either by USB-C (via phone charging) or three AA batteries, with a charging port and on/off switch at the rear of the base, your model lighthouse is warmly lit from within by two LED lights—one at the top illuminating a flame cutout behind the lens, and one inside the main tower illuminating the tower's latticework—making the Lighthouse of Alexandria not just an architectural wonder but also a cozy nightlight. At just over a foot in height (31 cm), your wooden model Lighthouse of Alexandria is the ideal size for a nightstand.
This Wonder of the Ancient World wooden model of the great Lighthouse of Alexandria will appeal to builders and hobbyists, architecture enthusiasts, students of history, and anyone wanting a showpiece nightlight to grace a nightstand, tabletop, or shelf in their home. You can leave the model in its attractive natural wood state or paint or stain it to add even greater realism. Give the boxed kit as a gift or build it yourself and present the finished Lighthouse to a dear friend or family member as a unique gift in which you've invested your time and talents. Let your light shine when you build the fascinating Lighthouse of Alexandria from Ugears!
