Lighting


 
Lighting is the illumination of an area.

Natural indoor lighting is by windows and skylights.

Artificial indoor lighting is by lamps, today usually electric lights, but previously by gas, candles or oil lamps. Lighting equipment is part of furniture. Modern portable light is a torch or flashlight on batteries.

Street lighting is a part of the street furniture. In built-up areas streets often have lighting, usually by lamp-posts, other roads may or may not have lighting. Light pollution is of growing concern.

Vehicles often have white or yellow lights in front, to illuminate the part of the road, etc., in front, traffic signs, etc., and to make the vehicle more visible, and red tail-lights in the rear to quickly alert one driver about another's direction of travel.
