What is Lighting?
{{Distinguish|Lightning}}[[File:Movie lighting.svg|thumb|right|150px|{{Center|Movie lighting silhouette}}]] '''Lighting''' or '''illumination''' is the use of [[light]] to achieve a certain effect. Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like [[lamp]]s and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing [[daylight]]. [[Daylighting]] (using windows, skylights, or light shelves) is sometimes used as the main source of light during daytime in buildings. This can save energy in place of using artificial lighting, which represents a major component of energy consumption in buildings. Lighting is a major factor in [[photography]], [[movie]] making and television studios.<ref>A. M.
