About Grasskjær Lighthouse
This skeletal white tower, standing 6 meters tall, is situated on a skerry about 2.5 kilometers northwest of Florø, Norway. Its focal plane is at 5 meters above the water. The lighthouse emits an occulting white, red, and green light, showing two flashes every 8 seconds. The structure comprises a lantern and gallery supported by four straight piles, with the lantern painted white and topped with a red roof. The geographic range of the light is 8.4 nautical miles, guiding vessels through the local waters.
Why it matters: The lighthouse's directional light system warns mariners of submerged skerries and shallow waters, which are characteristic of this archipelago section. Its design on piles is a practical solution for exposed coastal locations, ensuring visibility and marking a critical point for local maritime traffic.
