Artificial indoor lighting is by means of lamps, today usually electric lights, but previously by gas, candles or oil lamps. Modern freestanding lamps typically have a base which holds up a light bulb which is covered by a lampshade. Modern portable lighting is typically a flashlight (also called a torch) running on batteries. Indoor lighting is a form of furnishing, and a critical part of interior design. Likewise, lighting can also be an important part of landscaping.

In cities, streets are often lighted at night, usually by streetlights (also known as lamp-posts). These are a form of street furniture. Smaller or rural roads may not be lit. In major cities, light pollution is of growing concern.
