English term or phrase: light
Bonjour,

Il s'agit d'un refuge dans les arbres. Est-ce que "lumière" est le terme approprié ou existe-t-il un autre terme?

What's included:
Lighting: LED light with battery backup and solar panel provided

Merci d'avance!

éclairage
Explanation:
Without knowing the specific form this 'light' takes this would be the safest bet. You might use the technical term 'luminaire' (in EN, a 'light (fitting)' — but to be honest, I think that would be out of palce in your document.

To avoid repetition, I'd just say « Éclairage : LED... »

neutral  Tony M: 'lumière' tends to be used in this way in informal, everyday language « Éteins la lumière quand tu pars » but I don't really believe it is quite appropriate for the register/context, where it refers to a physical luminaire (but that's too technical here!)

agree  Platary (X): Dans la mesure où Nous avons "Lighting: LED light ...", il est inutile ici de reprendre light : Éclairage : LED... La suite est une question de formulation.
