Located on the western side of Karmøy in Norway's Rogaland region, it is positioned southwest of Visnes. The light displays an Oc(3) 10s characteristic, emitting three white occulting flashes every ten seconds. Its visibility extends to a geographic range of 13.6 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated 2.9 kilometers from Vedavagen, the closest port.
