About Mandal Lighthouses Lighthouse
This lighthouse consists of an 8-meter lantern structure situated on a platform supported by black piles, with the lantern itself painted white and topped by a red roof. It stands on a skerry just off the Tånes peninsula near Lindesnes, Norway. The focal height of the light is 13.5 meters, and it emits a directional light that shows white, red, or green, with a flash characteristic of two eclipses every 8 seconds. This light has a geographic range of 11.5 nautical miles. The site is open to the public, though the tower structure is closed. The nearest port is Mandal, located 6.9 kilometers away.
Why it matters: Its directional light aids navigation around the skerry, preventing groundings on this rocky outcrop. The design, featuring a lantern on a pile-supported platform, represents an adaptation to its specific environment.
