I was talking about a mast, not about towers.
The wiki (how “unlucky" it may be) is clear on the difference between a mast
and a tower. [1]

I don’t expect guy wires, neither does the wiki, nor have I ever seen them in
use for all (55 or so) man_made=mast structures that are in my neighbourhood
(in the Nehterlands). Typically “small” masts of steel or concrete and about 5
- 15 meters high.
But that was not my question in the first place, I asked for the use of:
man_made=mast
mast=lighting
or
mast:type=lighting
