Overview
The Lumut Lighthouse, or Rumah Api Lumut, is a prominent landmark in Kampong Sungai Kayu Ara, within the Belait District of Brunei. Overlooking Lumut Beach, this active navigational beacon stands 32 meters (105 ft) tall and is painted in red, white, and blue.Completed in November 2004 and inaugurated in March 2005, the lighthouse serves as a crucial aid for ships navigating the South China Sea towards Lumut. Its light emits three white flashes every 15 seconds, with a range of 45 kilometers (28 mi). The lighthouse has been modernized with LED lighting.Initially managed by the Ports Department and the Marine Department, its administration was later transferred to the Maritime and Port Authority of Brunei Darussalam (MPABD).
