The Çanakkale Antenna Tower is a landmark that houses a natural history museum on a hill of a forest reserve visible from afar. Many small lights can be seen like densely placed stars.
Tiny lights at the bottom shine for close-up effect; above the forest canopy are more powerful lights. Their focused beam shines purposefully like a lighthouse all the way to the city of Çanakkale and the coast.
The exterior lighting is perfectly shielded – the mast luminaires and accompanying bollard luminaires are precisely aimed at the sidewalks to avoid light pollution.
