Ok, the discussion at least came to an agreement that this:

Don't be too sure about that. I thought that we could all agree that a
lighthouse had some thing to do with light and houses, but it turns
out that's not an universally held opinion.
Depends what you mean by 'houses'. The purpose of a lighthouse is to
house a light: it doesn't need to house people. 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.'
