lamplight
Soft indoor radiance
Lamplight is the light produced by a lamp, especially the warm, soft glow of traditional oil or gas lamps rather than electric lighting.
The word carries nostalgic or atmospheric connotations: They dined by lamplight, Her face was visible in the lamplight.
It often evokes intimacy or an earlier era.
