[citation needed] The 31.7-metre (104 ft) tall lighthouse has a red, cast iron, cylindrical tower that stands on top of a circular white stone base.

The light is emitted at a height of 47 metres (154 ft) above sea level.

The light on top of the tower puts out two white flashes every 30 seconds.

The light is on from dusk to sunrise from 4 August until 2 May each year (it is not on during the summers due to the midnight sun in the region).

[1] In addition to the light, the tower also emits a Racon signal that is the morse code letter "T".
