It was first lit in 1881 and it was automated in 2004.[1]
The cast iron tower is painted red with one white horizontal band; the base is painted white. The 31-metre (102 ft) tall tower sits on a 2-story octagonal masonry base. The original 1st order Fresnel lens is still in use at the top of the tower. The light emits three white flashes every 60 seconds at an elevation of 56 metres (184 ft) above sea level.
It is located on an isolated island in the Norwegian Sea about 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of the town of Florø and about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) northwest of the small island of Kinn. The lighthouse is accessible only by boat. [2] [3]
