Found interesting note on range in full pedowikia article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcanhar_Lighthouse#cite_note-2

According to List of Lights. "Perobas - Touros" says "22 nautical miles (about 37 km)" which is an incorrect unit translation.

OK, 22 nautical miles is 40km, not 37, but that range seems to be correct. But they still leave wrong range in characteristics section.
