A white pole was set up on the last section of the pier, beyond the lighthouse, taking over light provision from the 19th May 1982.
 It had a glass drum lens in a buoy lantern, and after modernisation in 2010, it operates with six halogen lamps, on a mains electric supply and battery.
The white beams have a range of 12 nautical miles, and the red 8 nautical miles.
