Abstract: In the period 1859-1941 the New Zealand governments built 38 major lighthouses; 30 of these were constructed during the period 1865-1897. Despite New Zealand's limited industrial base at the time, these usually represented the latest technology because New Zealand's lighthouse authorities drew directly on the existing Scottish technology. D. & T. Stevenson and its successor firms were retained as consulting engineers, firms including Milne & Son, James Dove, Chance Bros, and French glass makers manufactured lanterns and apparatus to Scottish designs, and Scottish firms supplied stores. The New Zealand lighthouse service was based on the Northern Lighthouse Board model.
