It is located about 500m. (0.3mi) east  of the Miraflores Locks in an area crossed by powerlines. The main road paralleling the canal passes the lighthouse.

The Lighthouse is now under the administration of Panama Canal Authority and is run by solar power. The members of Panama Canal Amateur Radio Association and Radio Club de Panamá are greatful to contact you in Fort Clayton (Ciudad del Saber-City of Knowledge) this next August in the frequencies.

SHORT HISTORY

In 1903, shortly after winning its independence from Colombia, Panama granted the U.S. extraterritorial jurisdiction over the Canal Zone. The Zone remained under exclusive U.S. control until the Panama Canal Treaty, ratified in 1978, provided for its restoration to Panama. Under the treaty, Panama assumed full operation of the Canal at the end of 1999. The U.S. Panama Canal Commissiom, which operated the canal until the reversion, is now the Autoridad del Canal de Panama (Panama Canal Authority). The Authority is expanding the Canal, doubling its capacity by constructing a third set of locks and widening  and deepening the entire route. Groundbreaking for this enormous project was held in September 2007, and the work is scheduled for completion in 2014. It seems likely that this project will result in the removal or replacement of at least some of the historic lighthouses. HP1-IBF/HP1-ALX.
