Coordinates are from google maps but photos were taken from about 200 meters away on a cruise ship at the Gutan Locks.

This is the Atlantic Entrance Range Middle Light (ARLHS PAN-017; Admiralty J6132.1; NGA 110-16616.). Built in 1914, it is easily seen from ships passing through the Canal.
"Active; focal plane 30 m (98 ft); continuous green light visible only on the range line. 23 m (75 ft) concrete tower with lantern and gallery." (visit link)
