About Gjæsingen Lighthouse
Also known as: Gjæsingen (Gjesingen)
Gjæsingen Lighthouse is situated at the southern tip of its namesake island, a populated island located about 12 kilometers east-northeast of Mausund. The structure features a 5-meter lantern and gallery, painted white with a red roof, mounted on an unspecified base. Its focal height is 8 meters, and it emits two white flashes on an 8-second cycle, with sector lights in white, red, and green. This lighthouse has a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. Access to the island is only possible by boat.
Why it matters: Gjæsingen Lighthouse is essential for local maritime traffic, providing critical directional guidance with its sector light system that changes color based on a vessel's approach, marking the southern extremity of the island and helping mariners navigate coastal waters.
