The {{convert|12|m|adj=on}} tall lighthouse has an occulting light that flashes white, red, and green (depending on direction) once every six seconds at an elevation of {{convert|17.8|m}} above sea level. The concrete tower is painted white and it has a red roof. The 30,700-candela light can be seen for up to {{convert|13|nmi|km mi}}. The light is activated from July 21 until May 16 each year. The light is inactive and unnecessary during the late spring and early summer due to the midnight sun.{{Store norske leksikon|Terningen_fyr|Terningen fyr|2025-01-25|Lauritzen|Per Roger|2024-11-26}}{{Cite rowlett|nornw1|date=19 July 2011|access-date=2018-02-16}}
