Cape Campbell Lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower in Marlborough District, New Zealand.

The Cape Campbell Lighthouse rises 22 meters above the coastline, constructed of cast iron with distinctive white and black horizontal bands around its cylindrical structure.

The initial wooden lighthouse from 1870 was replaced in 1905 with the current cast iron tower due to structural deterioration of the original timber construction.

The lighthouse gained international recognition when it served as a filming location for the 2016 motion picture 'The Light Between Oceans'.

The navigation tower emits white flashing signals every 15 seconds, guiding maritime vessels across a visibility range of 19 nautical miles.

The lighthouse operates through remote control from Wellington, following its transformation from oil lamp illumination to electric power and subsequent automation in 1986.
