Swinging beacon on Swissotel?

I think there was once a rotating beacon like a lighthouse, yes. Saw with my own eyes regularly from my home. But I dont seem to see it nowadays?

Ops....just realise it IS indeed flashing now!
 I think its rotating. Can tell how it increases and then decreases in brightness.

This is the one that rises in front of my hometown
 It is named Cordouan.  Height 68m, I don't know if it makes it taller than Bedok's one, but I have to say I prefer its design Building of the first lighthouse began in 1584 and ended in 1611. Later on, the lighthouse was rebuilt, keeping the 3 lower stories. It was finished in 1789. It stands on a rock 8km away from land, and can only be accessed by boat when the sea level is low. The light can be seen 40km away. More details and pics: http://perso.wanadoo.fr/cordouan/Cordouan.htm |

Considering it is quite high, I would say that it might be.

Bedok Lighthouse is like 78m tall.
Marine Tower is 106m tall. But is it in operation, I'm not sure...

@ RafflesCity-
 @redstone- That would make Marine Tower one of the highest lighthouses in operation. |
