About Smilden Lighthouse
Also known as: Smilden (Smilla)
Smilden lighthouse is a square, 6-meter tall tower topped with a red lantern roof. It stands on a mainland promontory on the north side of the Åfjord, about 10 kilometers northwest of Hyllestad, Norway. The light has a focal height of 8 meters and a geographic range of 9.7 nautical miles. It emits an occulting white, red, or green light on a 4-second cycle, with 2 seconds of light followed by 2 seconds of darkness. This directional characteristic helps mariners identify their position and navigate the fjord.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation within the Åfjord, warning vessels of the mainland promontory and guiding them through the fjord's channels, particularly for those approaching or departing Hyllestad.
