About Jarsteinen Lighthouse
The Jarsteinen lighthouse is a fiberglass tower built in 2021 and stands 6 meters tall, with its light positioned 28 meters above sea level. It displays an isophase white, green, or red light that cycles every 4 seconds, visible for 14.9 nautical miles. The tower is painted white with two black horizontal bands, and its lantern roof is red. This modern structure replaced an earlier light at the same location off the southwestern tip of Karmøy, Norway. Its nearest port is Skudeneshavn, 2.8 kilometers away.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for guiding vessels around the southwestern tip of Karmøy, where the coastline and islands present navigational challenges. Its directional light offers precise guidance to local shipping and fishing fleets.
