Baring Head Lighthouse

Baring Head Lighthouse is a concrete lighthouse at Baring Head in the Wellington Region of the North Island of New Zealand, with an LED beacon powered by mains electricity.

[2] It is owned and operated by Maritime New Zealand, and can be accessed via walking tracks in the southern area of the East Harbour Regional Park, south of Wainuiomata.

Lit on 18 June 1935, it replaced the light at Pencarrow Head, which was decommissioned later that year.

[2] The lighthouse was initially powered by a diesel generator but was converted to mains electricity in 1950.

In February 2005, the original lens was replaced by a flashing LED beacon visible from up to 18 kilometres (10 nmi; 11 mi).
