Definition
A fixed light shines continuously without interruption and is written F, or F R for fixed red. Pure fixed lights are now uncommon as principal seamarks because they are easily lost among shore lighting, but they persist on leading lines, bridge and pier-head marks, and obstruction lighting. Combined characteristics exist, such as F Fl, a fixed light with a periodic brighter flash, and Al, an alternating light changing colour without going dark.
