floodlit
Drenched in brightness
Floodlit describes something illuminated by floodlights—powerful lamps that cast broad, intense light over a wide area.
Sports fields, monuments, and building facades are commonly floodlit at night: The floodlit stadium glowed against the dark sky.
The word serves as both past tense of floodlight and as an adjective.
