About Rugskjæret Lighthouse
Rugskjæret Lighthouse stands on a skerry located 1.2 kilometers south of Husøy. This cylindrical fiberglass tower, standing 7 meters tall, is painted white and topped with a red lantern roof. Its focal height reaches 9 meters above sea level. The light emits an occulting white, red, and green signal, with a 6-second cycle. The lighthouse has a geographic range of 10 nautical miles and its structure includes a lantern and gallery. While the site is accessible by boat, the tower itself is closed to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse warns mariners of the hazardous skerry it occupies, particularly for vessels approaching or departing Husøy. Its sector light provides precise directional guidance through these coastal waters.
