In 1908, not many lighthouses had electricity, so "blowing the bulb" isn't really practical. Perhaps running out of oil or trimming the wick too closely would be more of a reason for the light to go out. Either way, it would be quite unlikely for an experienced keeper to do either. More realistic would be for the storm to wash out a window and the wind blow out the lamp. As for the second point, it may depend on what year the lighthouse was abandoned. Different technologies would be at hand depending on the year.
