Litlgrønholmen Lighthouse

Also known as: Litlgrønholmen (Lille Gronnholmen)

This 6.5-meter concrete post lighthouse, painted white with a red lantern roof, stands on a reef approximately 10 kilometers west of Meløya in Norway's Nordland region. Its focal height is 7 meters, and it emits a white, red, and green light that flashes on a 6-second cycle. The light's characteristic changes color depending on the direction, offering specific guidance to mariners. Its geographic range extends to 9.3 nautical miles. The structure's primary role is to mark the hazardous reef.

Why it matters: The lighthouse's sector light is essential for warning vessels about the reef and providing precise directional guidance, preventing groundings in this complex coastal area.
