artificial light
Lamp or bulb
Artificial light is illumination produced by human-made sources rather than the sun, moon, or stars—electric lamps, candles, fires.
The term typically appears in contrast to natural light: The room had no windows and relied entirely on artificial light.
Photographers and painters consider how artificial light differs from daylight in color temperature and quality.
