The Eclipse Island Lighthouse is located on Eclipse Island off the south coast of Western Australia, near Albany. It was built in 1926 as a cylindrical tower made of concrete, initially serving as a staffed light powered by kerosene and a Fresnel lens. In 1976, the lantern was removed, and the light is now emitted from atop a mast on the lighthouse's concrete trunk. The lighthouse has a characteristic of three flashes every twelve seconds from a focal plane at 117 meters above sea level, with a range of 15 nautical miles.
The lighthouse is an active aid to navigation, managed by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. It has been listed on the State Register of Heritage Places since 2002, recognizing its historical significance. The lighthouse precinct includes three family quarters, outbuildings, concrete tanks, an electric generator shed, a helipad, and other structures built during the interwar period.
