The word "light“ a countable noun but the word "lighting" is not. The word "lighting "is an abstract noun and has no plural forms but the word "light" does.
e.g. The lighting in the house is so soft that you can feel comfrotable in it.
The lights in the house are so dim that I can hardly see anything.
That's it!

前者光线——直接投射在物体上,后者照明——强调整个空间.
