The lantern on the second lighthouse was removed and it was transformed into a watchtower (the red and gray short tower on the picture).

It is now remote controlled by the Swedish Maritime Administration, who wanted to deactivate the lighthouse in 2007 since the commercial shipping did not need it anymore.

The Vinga station also has a distinctive red pyramid, a day beacon, adjacent to the tower.

[2] Today, Vinga lighthouse is a popular tourist attraction, and during summer there are often guided tours on the island.

[2] The light shining from Vinga lighthouse is also mentioned in the song Dans på Brännö brygga.
