Gålö Lighthouse

The Gålö lighthouse was built in 1954 and has been an important aid to navigation in the Stockholm archipelago ever since.

History

The tower stands at a height of approximately 20 meters (66 feet) above sea level, with a focal height of around 30 meters (98 feet). The structure is constructed from concrete and features a distinctive design. The lighthouse has five distinct light patterns, each with its own unique characteristics, including a green light with a range of 6 nautical miles, a red light with a range of 7 nautical miles, and so on.

Light Characteristics

The Gålö lighthouse emits five different light patterns, each with a specific range and color. The lights are characterized as "Iso" in terms of their beam pattern, indicating that they have a uniform, unobstructed beam.

Current Status

The Gålö lighthouse is currently an automated aid to navigation, meaning it operates without the presence of human keepers.
