This is a list of sources of light, including both natural and artificial sources, and both processes and devices . A typical "light source" emits a certain kind of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum. See also List of reflected light sources This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it (//en.wik ipedia.org/w/index.php? title=List_of_light_sources&action=edit).
