relighting

Sparking once more

Relighting is the act of lighting something again after it has gone out.

A pilot relight restores an extinguished jet engine to operation.

You might have trouble relighting the grill after the wind blows it out.

In digital photography and film, relighting refers to artificially adjusting the lighting of an already-captured image.
