Before the Viceimperial Burgoignesc Lighthouse Service was established, local collectors of customs were responsible for lighthouses. As their importance to navigation has declined the [[Revenue Guard]] has upgraded many lighthouses to also be {{Wp|GPS}} and {{wp|AIS}} beacons. [[Burgundie]] is one of the few nations that still mans lighthouses and maintains the light functionality as part of its maritime navigation service. | |||

''Posidofan'' is [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] word for a lighthouse, stemming from the [[Istroyan]] ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp. Posidofan denoted the difference from its predecessor the ''pila pira'' (Eng. pyre, lit. fire pile) in that is included housing accommodations for a lighthouse keeper. In the 1890s there was an attempt by the Viceimperial Burgoignesc Lighthouse Service to adopt the word ''cabine della pira'' (Eng. Lighthouse), but the traditionalists in the maritime services never used the new word and the last recorded publication of ''cabina della pira'' was on a nautical chart of [[Wintergen]] from [[1904]]. | ''Posidofan'' is [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] word for a lighthouse, stemming from the [[Istroyan]] ''Fanos Posideon'' meaning Poseidon's lamp.
