About Dombeskjær Lighthouse
Also known as: Dombeskjær (Dombeskjærene)
Dombeskjær lighthouse stands on a platform supported by piles driven into a reef off the southwest coast of Hovden, Norway. This 11.5-meter lantern structure has a white lantern housing and a red roof. Its focal plane is 10 meters above the water, and it emits a sector light that changes from white, red, or green every 2 seconds depending on the viewing direction. The geographic range of the light is 10.4 nautical miles. While the site is accessible to visitors, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: The light's sector system precisely warns mariners of the hazardous reef it marks off Hovden, guiding safe passage along this complex section of the Norwegian coast.
