Built as part of a broader deepening of the Kerch Strait's shipping channel (widened to 107 meters by 1901 and deepened to 7.3 meters by 1908), the paired Lower and Upper Burun lighthouses were announced in 1906 and began operating in 1909, replacing the old Pavlovsky lighthouse as the strait's principal entrance marker. The lower (front) light, a stone octagonal tower at Cape Kamysh-Burun, showed both a wide-sector white light and a green range light, while the upper (rear) light at Eltigen showed a red range light along the canal's second leg. Dismantled and evacuated in November 1942 during World War II, both towers were rebuilt in 1954 and remain in service guiding traffic through the Kerch-Yenikale Canal.

Из книги «Маяки России» (2001)
Источник: Комарицын А. А., Корякин В. И., Романов В. Г. «Маяки России (исторические очерки)». СПб.: ГУНиО МО РФ, 2001 (доп. тираж 2005).
Керченский пролив имеет илистый грунт, а в районе кос — ил с песком. Поэтому проложенный в 1875 и расширенный в 1881 году канал по своим характеристикам не оставался постоянным. К концу XX века ширина его сократилась до 45—50 м, а глубина уменьшилась на 0,5 м. В 1899 году началось новое углубление канала до 6,4 м с доведением его ширины до 107 м. Работы эти были окончены в 1901 году. Но и эта глубина оказалась недостаточной, и к 1908 году канал углубили до 7,3 м. Одновременно проводились работы по улучшению Керченского порта и совершенствованию навигационного ограждения пролива. В 1906 году Главное гидрографическое управление известило мореплавателей в Лоцманских заметках за 1906 год, что “...на западном берегу Керчь-Еникальского канала установлены два створных Бурунских маяка для освещения 2-го (Бурунского) колена подходного к Керчи с Черного моря канала по его оси, имеющего направление NO — SW 37°34', из коих: а) Нижний Бурунский маяк — на мысе Камыш-Бурну... состоит из каменного одноэтажного жилого дома со службами и каменной восьмигранной отдельно стоящей башни высотою 55 футов от основания и 125 футов над уровнем моря. Кроме дирекционного освещения по сказанному направлению оси 2-го колена, маяк будет иметь еще угловое освещение, пределами своими отбивающее рифы у мыса Таклы и банку Акипова (к югу от мыса Панагия) и служит, таким образом, входным маяком в Керченский пролив, вместо теперешнего Павловского маяка... б) Верхний Бурунский маяк — в расстоянии 692 сажени на SW 37°34' от Нижнего Бурунского маяка (в местности Эльтиген) состоит из каменного одноэтажного дома со службами и каменной отдельно стоящей четырехгранной башни высотой 36 футов от основания ея и 174 фута над уровнем моря с дирекционным освещением по направлению створа его с Нижним маяком (по румбу N0 37°34'). О времени окончания постройки этих маяков и открытии их освещения будет объявлено дополнительно”. Оба маяка начали действовать в 1909 году. Нижний (передний) маяк имел два диоптрических осветительных аппарата 3-го и 4-го разрядов и светил белым и зеленым постоянными огнями. Белый освещал сектор от 138 до 159°, а зеленый светил по направлению 37°30', т. е. по створу с красным огнем Верхнего (заднего) Бурунского маяка. Верхний маяк, расположенный в 7 кабельтовых от Нижнего, имел диоптрический светооптический аппарат 4-го разряда и светил постоянным красным огнем по направлению 37°30', т. е. по створу, ведущему по второму колену Керчь-Еникальского канала. В таком виде Бурунские маяки простояли до Великой Отечественной войны. В ноябре 1942 года оборудование маяков было демонтиро
вано и эвакуировано. На маяках был развернут манипуляторный пункт под командованием A. JI. Зубенина. В 1954 году оба маяка были восстановлены и в настоящее время надежно обеспечивают плавание по Керчь-Еникальскому каналу.
