The light is 30 meters above high water and continues to be exhibited by day in periods of poor visibility and at night.

The lighthouse, compound walls and adjacent buildings are painted white for daytime conspicuousness.

On Monday 26 February 2018 the new LED bulb developed by R&RNAV was installed at Roche's Point.

The new bulb was placed into the centre of the second order Fresnel lens to maintain the long range of the light.

This retention of the lens contrasts with the approach at some lighthouses where traditional lenses have been removed and replaced with new LED apparatus.

[citation needed] A bell was established at Roche's Point in 1864 to warn mariners in poor visibility.
