low lighting

Faint ambient glow

Low lighting refers to dim or subdued illumination, often deliberately set to create atmosphere or mood.

Restaurants and bars use low lighting to feel intimate or romantic.

The phrase also describes conditions where visibility is reduced: The camera performs well in low lighting.

Low-lit is the corresponding adjective: a low-lit room.
