The height of a lighthouse takes into account the curvature of the earth, so the higher light above Mean High Water, the further away it can be seen at sea. But the light should not be so high up that local sailors will not see it. It is possible that a sailor sitting a mile or so out at sea may not see the light if the beam is too high. Hence, you will frequently get shorter lighthouses on the top of cliffs and taller lighthouses built nearer the water surface.
is this from google ?

Hey friend Ur answer,
It is nessary for a light to be tall so that the higher light above MHW (mean high water), the further away it can be seen at sea. But the light should not be so high up that local sailors will not see it. There should be a maintenance for the right height of the light house .
Hope it will help u mate
