The lighthouse celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008, the same year as the 100th anniversary of Robert Moses State Park. These include postcards of Fire Island Light with links to customized nautical charts provided by National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.

The Archives Center at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History has a collection (#1055) of souvenir postcards of lighthouses and has digitized 272 of these and made them available online. However Fire Island has extended itself through accumulating sand so that the lighthouse is now nearly five miles (8.0 km) from the western end of the island at Democrat Point. When the lighthouse was built it was on the edge of Fire Island Inlet and marked the western end of Fire Island. It is listed as Fire Island Light, number 695, in the USCG light lists. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 and a boundary increase for the national historic district occurred in 2010.

It continues to be on the nautical charts, but is operated and maintained by the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society and not the USCG. On February 22, 2006, the light became a private aid to navigation. On the United States Coast Guard returned the Fire Island Lighthouse to an active aid to navigation. FILPS raised over $1.2 million to restore the tower and light.

In 1982 the Fire Island Lighthouse Preservation Society (FILPS) was formed to preserve the lighthouse. The United States Coast Guard decommissioned the light in 1974. The current lighthouse is a 180-foot (55 m) stone tower that began operation in 1858 to replace the 74-foot (23 m) tower originally built in 1826.
