The lighthouse is a cylindrical structure about six metres tall, sited on a low rocky outcrop next to the Nordic Watercolour Museum at Skärhamn in Sweden. It is constructed of mint green beer crates from Germany and lit inside by eight spotlights. The powerful illumination transforms the building into a pale green jewel standing in the narrow channel between the museum jetty and the artists’ studios on Bockholmen.

It can clearly be seen from the busy fairway running from Marstrand past Skärhamn and on to Kyrkesund. In summer, when the sea is low and fairly warm, crab hunting children can easily wade out to the lighthouse, climb aboard and get inside. During stormy autumn evenings the sea can have risen to totally flood the little island with the lighthouse standing with its base under water.
