I have been unable to find much information regarding this lighthouse. It is situated off the northern peninsula of Java north east of the town of Semarang on the highest point of the small uninhabited island. The lighthouse appears as a corrupted spelling in Chance's order book of 1896 stating Poelee (pulau, island) Mandalike in Holland Colonial. My understanding is that the light is still staffed by coastguards who stay in the attached buildings. I have found no information regarding the updating of the light so it may well be that the original Chance light remains in use.

The island can only be accessed by boat. ARLHS IDO-224; Admiralty Q1144; NGA 23572.
Based on "Ujang Krisno" photo and "pandu pajak" photo it looks like the lighthouse itself was made in 1886. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipOlGFkKvpRu40ASC2irOpmSqcZkvaISWwTm8ra9=s1354-k-no https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipMwsxbGJtLQIPWGoUvAFKv1s6PlcLJ3M_M9Vmqe=s1031-k-no
