lighting effect
Staged brightness manipulation
A lighting effect is the visual result produced by deliberate manipulation of light—its color, intensity, direction, or movement.
The term appears most often in theater, film, photography, and video games, where lighting effects create mood, atmosphere, or dramatic emphasis: The haunted house relied on flickering lighting effects.
In computing, lighting effects also describe illumination features on keyboards or gaming equipment.
