Lower Pencarrow Sector Light

Low-level Pencarrow light erected at the bottom of the Pencarrow cliffs in 1906 for conditions when fog or cloud obscured the upper lighthouse, and to work with the upper light as a day mark.

Evidence note

Official NZHistory page supports the 1906 lower light and its fog/cloud role; precise operational characteristics remain for later navigation-list review.
