Svinbådan lighthouse, Sector light lighthouse in Höganäs Municipality, Sweden

The Svinbådan lighthouse spans 25.5 meters in height and features a cylindrical structure made of reinforced concrete with black and orange horizontal stripes.

The inauguration of this caisson lighthouse took place on October 5, 1960, marking a new era in maritime navigation along the Swedish coast.

The lighthouse represents Swedish maritime engineering excellence and continues to guide vessels through the waters of the Øresund strait.

The light signal operates on an eight-second isophase pattern, emitting white, red, and green beams visible up to 17 nautical miles away.

A submarine power cable provides electricity to this concrete sentinel, which stands firmly anchored to the seabed in the waters off Höganäs.
