Vaasa lighthouse, Sector light in Kvarken strait, Finland.

The Vaasa lighthouse stands 16.3 meters above sea level on the Korsö shallow waters along the deep-water channel of Vaasa.

Engineering firm Pöysälä & Sandberg designed this steel structure in 1981, representing a new type of reinforced concrete lighthouse construction method.

The lighthouse maintains maritime safety traditions through its characteristic two-flash pattern in white, red, and green every ten seconds.

Solar panels power the navigation system, which includes a racon signal marked with letter T and reaches 12 nautical miles across the water.

The foundation consists of a tripod structure built at Vaskiluoto harbor, filled with concrete and secured to bedrock with cable bundles.
