Ar-Men is a French sea lighthouse on the Chaussée de Sein off Brittany. Its archive identity is useful for the LUX Lights continuity model because the lighthouse is remembered not only as a tower, but as a maintained signal in one of France's most difficult offshore settings.

For this record, interpretive claims belong to the linked story article. Canonical facts should remain source-backed: construction, light characteristic, automation, apparatus changes, and later restoration work should be maintained through field claims and evidence rows as sources are reviewed.
