proper lighting
Well-lit work conditions
Proper lighting refers to illumination that suits a particular purpose or setting.
A photographer needs proper lighting to capture detail; a workspace requires proper lighting to reduce eye strain.
The phrase implies adequacy and appropriateness rather than any specific brightness level: The gallery finally installed proper lighting for the sculptures.
What counts as proper varies entirely by context.
