A spokesman for Trinity House said: "We are aware of the issue with the audible hazard warning signal at Longships Lighthouse, and we are looking into options for getting our Field Operations Technicians to the offshore tower.
Longships Lighthouse, which lies just over a mile off Lands End, has been emitting an ear-splitting beep every 13 seconds for a week.
Longships Lighthouse itself has not had permanent lighthouse keepers on it since 1988.
“Of course, once the part has arrived, the maintenance crew will still have to wait for calm enough weather conditions to allow them to get out to the lighthouse and install it!.
The lighthouse keepers on Longships led a modest existence, earning £30 a year and free meals, which they had to cook in the lantern.
