We put gear handle down and at first did not get 3 green lights; only the 2 main wheels. Then we recycled gear and saw 3 green lights; although the nose wheel light was dimmer than other 2. We did a low approach and Tower confirmed twice that gear was down so we landed on the second pass. The nose gear collapsed on the landing roll.
[Narative #2 had no additional information]
A BE76 nose gear collapsed on landing after initially failing to indicate down but after cycling indicated safe and with Tower-observed report of the gear down.
