2000 meters is close enough to a mile.

I don't think the lighthouse would illuminate anything at any range but should be visible at 16,000 meters or the horizon, whichever comes first. The searchlight should illuminate at about 500 meters, but should be seen for about 4000 meters. That's a guess though. Wonder if there's any good info out there?
