Lighthouse of Alexandria

The Ugears DIY wooden model of the Lighthouse of Alexandria is largely based on surviving historical records. Since the Lighthouse of Alexandria was dedicated to Zeus, our model is topped with an engraved cutout of the king of the gods clutching a thunderbolt. Railings, towers, a walkway and a dome add architectural interest, featuring laser engravings that replicate the look of stone blocks and roof tiles. True to the Ugears style, this static model includes a moving element: gates at the front and back of the base that open using knobs.

Crafted from high-quality 3mm composite wood, the model also incorporates electrical components, light bulbs and an acrylic lens. The back of the base houses a USB-C charging port and a compartment for three AA batteries, while the interior of the lighthouse is illuminated by two LED lights: one at the top for the flame behind the lens and another inside the main tower for the lattice structure. Standing 31 cm tall, the wooden Lighthouse of Alexandria model is the perfect size for a bedside table.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria is an intermediate-level DIY model comprising 340 parts, offering over six hours of engaging assembly. The kit includes natural composite wood parts on laser-cut panels, electrical components, two LED lights, an acrylic lighthouse lens and sandpaper and wax for smoothing and lubricating the pieces. As with all Ugears models, no glue or special tools are required to assemble your Lighthouse of Alexandria. Simply fit the pieces together by following the step-by-step instructions available in 11 languages ​​(English, German, Ukrainian, French, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and Korean).
