If many lions are a pride, and geese come in a flock, whattsa bunch of lighthouses?
A beam of lighthouses?

I thought a group of geese was called a gaggle. Anyway, I know that lighthouses are migratory, but are they gregarious? The models sure seem to be!
In following the traditions of technical taxonomy (Alliteration for you, John), in naming stuff after pioneers in the field (such as the naming of the ohm, the ampere, etc.), I propose that we name the unit of measure for a group of lighthouse models an "aucremann".
As in, "To be classified as a wacko, one must own, as a minimum, three aucremanns of Harbour Lights."
Whattaya think?

Maybe curio shelves can be rated in aucremanns, too.

Dear Carl,
I think you're a few meatballs shy of a fylum.

You guys are nuts! Tim, do you spend your days reading the dictionary or what?
How about a Legion of Lighthouses?
