Each beacon exhibits a fixed green light, visible 4 miles over an arc of 50° (approx.) on each side of their transit-line.

Front beacon : 19 ft. in height, and having a 10 ft. square surmount with red and white quadrants, is situated 316° 1·31 miles from the harbour light at North Head. The base of the beacon is 9 ft., the top 28 ft., and the focal plane of the light 27½ ft. above M.H.W.S.
Rear Beacon : 20 ft. in height, and having a 10 ft. circular disc white with red centre, is situated 318° 1·35 miles from the harbour light at North Head. The base of the beacon is 92 ft., the top 112 ft., and the focal plane of the light 106 ft. above M.H.W.S.

and the rear bar or entrance beacon (10 ft. circular disc surmount white with black centre and black stripe under) in transit 063°, until the anchorage beacons are in transit 008°. This defines the best anchorage, in 8 fathoms, for working lighters.
Both the North Mole lighthouse and the rear bar or entrance beacon show a fixed red light ; but it should not be overlooked that when ships are crossing the bar outwards two red lights vertically disposed are shown from the rear bar or entrance beacon.
