Summerside Harbour Outer Range Lighthouses, Prince Edward Island
The Summerside Outer Range Lights, which began operation in 1991, are the most recent set of enclosed range lights to be established on Prince Edward Island. When properly aligned, the red range lights guide vessels to the mouth of Summerside Harbour, near the Indian Head Lighthouse, from where they can use the Summerside Range Lights to proceed up the harbour.
The two lighthouses are similar in appearance, both being square, pyramidal towers topped by enclosed, square lantern rooms that are surrounded by a simple metal gallery. A white, trapezoidal daymark with a red vertical stripe is mounted on the seaward face of both towers. The front tower is 9 metres (29.5 feet) tall, while the rear tower is 10.1 metres (33.2 feet) tall. As the front tower is located near the shore at the western end of the harbour, its focal plane of 9.3 metres (30.6) is roughly the same height as the tower. The focal plane of the rear range light is 14.8 metres (48.5 feet).

The companion rear range light stands about forty-five feet tall, also featuring a red stripe on its white tower, and exhibits a fixed red light at a focal plane of fifty-eight feet.
Storm surges in December of 2010 swept the front range light away, but the Department of Fisheries and Ocean (DFO) dragged the tower back to land and left it lying on its side.
Several months later a crane was brought in to place the tower atop a new concrete foundation. Repairs were made to the tower and it has been placed back in service. Currently it is in excellent condition.
