Dear Lighthouse Friends

The founding of the Swedish Lighthouse Society took place at a meeting in the Dalénmuseet (the Museum of Gustaf Dalén) at Stenstorp (the birth place of Dalén) on October 5, 1996. The idea of starting a Swedish Lighthouse Society was received in a very positive manner. 

The society had 200 members after only one year of operation and more than 3000 members at the end of 2006 with numbers increasing regularly. In addition to all our individual members we welcome the following member organizations:
