About Glomstadholmen Lighthouse
Glomstadholmen lighthouse is a skeletal white tower with a red roof, standing 6 meters tall on four black piles. A lantern and gallery are mounted atop the piles, with the light visible from a focal height of 5 meters. The structure exhibits a directional white, red, or green light that cycles every 8 seconds. This light displays two occultations in white, followed by a colored sector. It is situated on a promontory on the south side of the Torsetsund, a narrow passage off the Trondheimsleia south of Skardsøy island. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 8.4 nautical miles.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is indispensable for safe passage through the Torsetsund, a narrow and potentially hazardous channel. Its directional light specifically warns mariners about the precise contours and dangers of this constricted waterway.
