Lit or Lighted When Describing Light

Got a room that’s glowing? You can say “well-lit” or “well-lighted”—both are technically correct, though “well-lit” is the modern favorite. “Lit” is more common than “lighted” when talking about turning on lights, but don’t confuse it with “lighten,” which means to make something less heavy or darker—like easing a burden or lifting a mood. Precision matters: choose your words wisely to shine bright, not stumble in the dark. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
