About Steinsholmen Øvre Lighthouse
Steinsholmen Øvre is a 6.5-meter tall square tower painted white with a red lantern roof. It stands on a small island at the southern entrance to Leinesfjord in Norway, guiding vessels leaving the fjord. The tower's focal plane is 17 meters above sea level, and its light has a geographic range of 12.4 nautical miles. It emits an occulting white, red, and green light with a 6-second cycle. The site is accessible by boat and open to visitors, but the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse functions as the rear light in a navigational range, essential for aligning vessels as they depart Leinesfjord. Its specific light sectors help mariners maintain the correct course through the fjord's entrance.
