Here's the OED definition:
'A tower or other structure, with a powerful light or lights (originally
a beacon) at the top, erected at some important or dangerous point on or
near the sea-coast for the guidance of mariners.'
That's pretty much the majority view of the very tiny, unscientific,
sample of people, on this list, who have attempted a definition.
However, there is an alternative view that the definition should be
based on the availability of accommodation for people within or nearby
and the grandeur of the structure.
