About Kalihi Channel Range Rear Lighthouse
This 20-meter skeletal steel tower in Waipahu supports a rectangular daymark featuring a red exterior with a white vertical stripe. Its focal height matches the tower's height. The light emits a white flash every 7.5 seconds, visible for up to 13.2 nautical miles. This structure is part of a range system guiding vessels through Kalihi Channel, west of Sand Island, which serves as a common entrance to Honolulu Harbor for cargo ships. The site is open to the public, but the tower itself remains closed. The nearest port is Honolulu, located 1.5 km away.
Why it matters: This rear range light is indispensable for the safe passage of cargo ships navigating the Kalihi Channel, a primary shipping lane into Honolulu Harbor. Its continuous operation directly supports the economic lifeline of Honolulu by ensuring the smooth flow of maritime trade.
