More good reading... lots of fun for an interesting assignment. This discusses the three terms you have up.
"Under a Lighthouse Regulation of 1827, the Swedish lighthouse keepers were divided into three categories; Master Lightkeeper (Swe: Fyrmästare), Lightkeeper (Fyrvaktare), and Assistant Lightkeeper (Fyrbiträde). The Master Lightkeeper is the person in charge of a lighthouse station."
