About Sandnes Lighthouse
The Sandnes Lighthouse is a 5-meter concrete post topped with a lantern and gallery. It is painted white and features a red lantern roof. The structure stands 8 meters above sea level, providing a focal height for its light. This light emits two white flashes followed by red and green signals every 8 seconds, depending on the approach. The lighthouse is situated on a headland at the northern end of the Leirfjord township in Norway's Nordland region. It is located near the city of Hemnes and is 2.3 kilometers from the nearest port, Hemnesberget.
Why it matters: This lighthouse provides essential directional guidance within the Leirfjord, particularly for local fishing vessels and smaller craft navigating the northern part of the township. Its specific white, red, and green light signals help mariners safely pass through complex channels and avoid hazards.
