About Bangsund Lighthouse
This square skeletal tower stands 6 meters tall on Brandøy, an island marking the entrance to Bangsund in Norway's Lyngynfjord. Covered with siding, it features a lantern and gallery, with its light positioned 7 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits an occulting white, red, or green light on a 6-second cycle, offering a geographic range of 9.3 nautical miles. While the site is accessible to visitors, the tower itself is closed. It is located near Namsos, with the nearest port 4.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The Bangsund light's sector system guides vessels through the Lyngynfjord entrance, delineating safe channels and warning of hazards.
