I did not find good discussions of the eclipse limits in the English
Wikipedia version; I found good explanations in German however:

  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finsterniszyklus

AFAIU you can indeed use similar values for lunar vs. solar eclipses.
But in the case of the moon, we are then including penumbral lunar
eclipses - in the total version see

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_penumbral_lunar_eclipse

which are probably not really interesting (moon gets only a bit darker).

The limits for an eclipse to happen are not really constant, but taking
this into account is probably out of scope of the currently available
code in lunar.el.
