Le Phare De Lanvaon

Plouguerneau, France

When the range was established in 1845, the rear light was mounted on the church tower in Plouguerneau (FRA-783); this proved to be too far from the water to be clearly visible. So this tower replaced the light in the church tower. It is equipped with a white directional halogen lamp of 90 W and has a range of about 25 km.
