The lighthouse is made of concrete, with square sides 2.7x2.7 m at the base and 3 m high.

The lighthouse was electrified in 1960 with current from a light machine that was at the lighthouse keeper's house in Svalvogur. In 1984, the lighthouse was again lit with gas, but on September 10, 1992, it was finally lit again with electricity and then with solar energy.
