On a clear night your height of eye is 7 ft. You are closing a light listed as 110 ft high, nominal range 16 nm.
Find its geographic range (how far off its light first clears the horizon for you) and the distance at which you should first see it. Take the nominal range as its luminous range on this clear night.
Use the horizon distance d = 1.17 × √h (nm, h in feet). Tolerance: 0.15 nm.
