big light
Main room illumination
The big light is the main overhead light in a room, as opposed to lamps or other ambient lighting.
The term is informal and particularly common in British and Irish English: Turn off the big light, it's too harsh.
Switching on the big light often signals the end of a relaxed atmosphere.
