The tower is surmounted by a lantern and gallery. Situated on a skerry at the eastern entrance to Jørnfjord, its focal plane is 7 meters above sea level. The light emitted is white, with a characteristic of one flash every 10 seconds, and possesses a visibility range of 9.3 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, but the tower is not.
