🔍 Key Concepts

• Geographic range vs. luminous (nominal) range of a light • Using the height of light from the Light List and your height of eye to find distance to the horizon • How the Geographic Range of Lights table (in the Light List reprints/Coast Pilot) is used

💭 Think About

• First, look up Shinnecock Light, NY in the Light List reprint and note the height of the light above water in feet/meters. • Use the Geographic Range table: find the distance to the horizon for your height of eye (24 ft / 7.3 m) and for the light’s height; then combine these to get total geographic range. • Compare that resulting range to the answer choices and think about which answer is consistent with typical ranges for a tall coastal light plus a modest height of eye.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using geographic range, not nominal or luminous range from the Light List entry. • Verify you selected the correct height of the light (not focal plane vs. tower height, etc.). • Double-check that you are correctly reading the distance values from the table for both heights and combining them properly (watch units: nautical miles).
