Adjective for a lamp that is on (closed) (compertoire that is closed)
What adjective is common for a lamp that is turned on in contrast with a lamp that is turned off?
In fact, in today’s English world, I try to find two antonym adjectives that are often used before lamp, when it gives light and when
it is switched off.
The context is about electric lamps.
In the English language, An adjective which works to imply that the lamp is giving light is glow.
ODO:
aglow ADJECTIVE
‘The
lights are aglow in the windows, the sound of the Christmas carols and the song we associate with the season of goodwill to all men but with us once again. ‘
To imply that the lamp is switched on (not necessarily giving out light for the moment, examples being some types of lamps needing warm-up), an adjective which works is powered-down (powered-down for switched off ).
ODO:
powered-up ADJECTIVE
Using increased power, more powerful; switched on.
What are some examples of this on the Internet?
