Malcolm,

Thanks for your response, this is very helpful.
I know the Josm plugin and I tried to use it but it has very limited 
capabilities (e.g. I cannot add lighthouses).
Thus, I thought about building my own simple, script-based "light tag 
generator".

What is the tag listed at the topic "Render Hints" 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Leuchtfeuer/Datenmodell) good for?

seamark:light:#=*:colour:###,#:###,#:###

Isn't this a redundant definition of everything that is listed above it?
And what does the "*" stand for?

Best regards,
Bernhard
