Nördlich der Heerstraße, parallel zum heutigen Böhlgraben befand sich damals ein weiterer Scheinwerferhochstand. Er war vom Bauprinzip mit dem Modell in Duhnen vergleichbar, handelte es sich dabei ebenfalls um ein Regelbau Model FLA. 077. Bei dem Scheinwerfertyp handelte es sich um ein Model 150 cm, der bei Bedarf mit einem Fahrstuhl in den Bunker herabgelassen werden konnte.
