house lights

As we came up the lane at dusk we saw the glimmer of the house lights.

The main curtain was dropped, the house lights went off and the battery of brilliant electrics in the footlights blazed.

Moreover, it had not yet occurred to the man at the switchboard to turn up the house-lights, and the darkness was disconcerting.

A bell rang faintly from behind the wings, the house lights sank, and the footlights blazed up.

The house lights came up and Janet found herself staring at the others, waiting for their verdict.
