Pulau Angsa Lighthouse
Malaysia
I have found very little information regarding this lighthouse. First operative in 1887 it is situated on a small island 40 kilometres north west of Port Klang and is the northern light for vessels approaching the Port. In 1909 Chance Brothers of Smethwick near Birmingham supplied a 4th order revolving optic for the lighthouse, I have been unable to find any further information regarding this optic so I cannot confirm that it still remains in situ and have presumed it is likely to have been replaced.
