About Bremsteinen Lighthouse
Also known as: Bremsteinen (Heimøya)
This square tower, standing 7 meters tall, is painted white and features a red lantern roof. It has a focal height of 18 meters and emits an isophase white, red, and green light on a 6-second cycle. The lighthouse is situated on the largest island of a small group, approximately 13 kilometers northeast of the Bremstein lighthouse. Its geographic range is 12.7 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional sector light, which changes color from white to red or green, precisely marks safe channels and warns vessels of hazards within this complex archipelago. Its continued operation ensures the safety of ships navigating this intricate section of the Norwegian coast.
