active light houses in wartime?

hello y'all. This is a bit of idle speculation because best beloved ( who is a retired electrical engineer wot used to do radar and sonar stuff, so got to go on warships etc) made a comment when I told him that I was passing north of Lerwick, and saw a light, which turned out to be a light-house beacon. He queried that, suggesting that there would not have been any UK light-houses shining out during the war years. What say you?
ps. I have just completed my first successful patrol, out of about six that went wrong for one reason or another (sighs happily). I am ready for my medal now... just watch where you pin it!):rotfl:
