Questions & Answers about La lumigo ĉe la kuliso ŝanĝiĝis.

What does lumigo mean here, and how is it different from lumo?

Lumo means light itself.

Lumigo means lighting / illumination: the lighting as an effect, setup, or result of giving light. In a stage or scene context, lumigo often sounds more natural than lumo if you mean the lighting arrangement rather than just the physical light.

So the difference is roughly:

• lumo = light
• lumigo = lighting, illumination

Could this have used lumigado instead of lumigo?

Usually lumigo is better here.

• lumigo often refers to the lighting as a whole, or to the result/state
• lumigado emphasizes the ongoing process of lighting something

So:

• lumigo = the lighting
• lumigado = the act/process of lighting

In this sentence, the idea is that the lighting changed, not that the process of lighting changed while it was happening, so lumigo fits well.

Why is ĉe used here?
