About Skvampen Range Rear Lighthouse
A slender, square skeletal tower of steel, built in 1996, stands 25 meters tall and displays a red light at a focal height of 28 meters. It carries a triangular daymark pointed downwards. The tower's design is functional, situated within Luleå's Börtskär industrial park. This range rear light emits a quick red flash and has a geographic range of 14.9 nautical miles. The navigational station itself was established in 1966, predating the current structure.
