Lighthouse identification / French Polynesia, Archipel de ...

Last post by kwolfgang - December 14, 2025, 08:03:27 AM

I got a number of light pictures from French Polynesia. It's difficult to find information and the accurate position of the lights. Here I have two pictures of lights from the Île de Huahine. Both lights are in the Mārō'ē Bay of this island.
Is there a list of lights from French Polynesia and especially from Huahine? Any help is appreciated!

This is just a assumption that it could be radar reflector inside, so to make this beacon better visible for radar.

In front of the bridges in Paris, there are beacons with a white top. They are not lighted. What effect does this top have on shipping traffic?

Do you remember then you sailed on ferry from Moskenes to Bodø was it from right side or left? Looking at the picture seems it was right side...

Hi there,
as you can tell I'm not an expert. Took a picture from the ferry from Moskenes to Bodø near Bodø though I don't have the slightest idea which light it actually is. If someone can help me identify it I would highly appreciate. Thanks for your help!

In total there is a 100.000+ minor navigational lights in the world. As for lighthouses there are about 20.000 of them. Inland lighthouses can differ from the sea but this depends of the region, i.e. in Great Lakes lighthouses are more less same as in the sea, but in many other areas they are much more simple.

Los faros en aguas interiores pueden diferir de los del mar, aunque esto depende de la región; por ejemplo, en los Grandes Lagos los faros son más o menos iguales que en el mar, pero en muchas otras zonas son mucho más simples.
