Fjøløy Lighthouse
The Fjøløy Lighthouse () is a coastal lighthouse in the municipality of Rennesøy in Rogaland county, Norway. The lighthouse sits on the island of Fjøløy, along the Boknafjorden. It is owned by the Norwegian Coastal Administration. The lighthouse was first built in 1849, but it has been replaced twice since that time. History
The lighthouse was established on the island Fjøløy in the old municipality of Mosterøy in 1849. It originally was a relatively small lighthouse that was only active during the season of the herring fisheries. In 1867, the original light was replaced by larger wooden lighthouse. During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany the occupants constructed fortifications at the site. That lighthouse was automated in 1977. In 1983, the old, wooden lighthouse was closed down and replaced by a smaller, automated lighthouse on the same site. Design
The  tall light sits at an elevation of  above sea level. It emits a white, red, or green light (depending on direction) that is occulting in groups of two, every eight seconds. The light burns at a 31,300-candela intensity. The lighthouse tower is painted white and the roof is red. See also
