  Artificial lighting involves man-made light sources used when natural daylight is inadequate. It has evolved from fire-based tools to advanced LED and smart lighting systems. This progression, from oil lamps and gas lights to incandescent, fluorescent and LED technologies, reflects a shift towards energy efficiency and sustainability. Today, artificial lighting plays a vital role in ensuring visibility, safety, comfort and environmental responsibility in both indoor and outdoor settings.
