You are quite right! Fine touch and light touch are pretty synonymous. Both are referred to as discriminative touch as they can be localized with quite accuracy. However, light touch per se refers to the touch that is felt in the superficial layers of the skin in contrast to deeper sensations of pressure and vibrations. Refer to this book: https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=Kl7UDwAAQBAJ&pg=SA14-PA242&dq=light+touch+sensation&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiuhfW56JPtAhUvUxUIHfYKCA4Q6AEwAXoECAIQAg#v=onepage&q=light%20touch%20sensation&f=false
