Its geographic range extends to 10.7 nautical miles. The light emits a single yellow flash every three seconds.

Why it matters: As a front range light, this structure, working with a rear marker, provides directional guidance for ships navigating the Pranburi River's entrance and its initial stretch, helping prevent groundings and collisions.
