lamp lighting
Turning on lights
Lamp lighting is the act or practice of illuminating lamps, especially the historical occupation of lighting street lamps before electric automation.
A lamplighter would make evening rounds with a long pole, igniting gas lamps one by one.
The phrase evokes a bygone era of cities at dusk: The lamp lighting began as shadows lengthened.
