What is the difference between seamark:type=light_minor and
seamark:type=light_major? Is light visible from 2 nautical miles
"short-range light"? What about 5? 10?

"A major light is a light that is intended to be seen at extended
distances and will indicate the presence of prominent land masses or
provide guidance into harbours or rivers." "A minor light is a
short-range light that marks obstacles in the same way as lighted buoys
and beacons"

So lighthouses should have seamark:type=light_major, right?

But there are many lighthouses with long-range light but with
seamark:type=light_minor rather than light_major.

See http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/u0C listing light_minor objects with
seamark:light:range > 10.

I suspect that either seamark:light:range or seamark:type tag is wrong
there - but maybe my understanding of seamark:type=light_major/minor is
wrong?
