About Helløy Lighthouse
The Helløy lighthouse is a square tower with a lantern and gallery, standing 7 meters tall with a focal height of 11 meters. Its white exterior is topped with a red lantern roof. Operating with a white, red, and green light, it emits two occultations every 8 seconds, displaying different colors depending on the direction. This structure is situated on a small island approximately 500 meters southeast of the Mærskjær light. The lighthouse's geographic range is 10.7 nautical miles. While the site is accessible to the public, the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse's directional light, which displays white, red, or green, precisely delineates safe channels and warns mariners of specific dangers. This targeted guidance is indispensable for local shipping and fishing vessels navigating the intricate coastal environment.
