MY ANSWER:
I like late afternoon light that you only get on the west coast or at high altitudes. Or perhaps the desert.

multicolored Christmas lights on the tree… with different sections blinking at different intervals (most of you may say that’s tacky, but it’s a childhood thing)

15 million Candlepower X-Files flashlights.

In Santorini, Greece I have seen some amazing sunsets…
Soft lighting. Like the kind in certain small, relaxing bars. Fireplace light. Or when the moon is really full… That soft bluish-white light that illuminates everything. Beautiful.
I try to surround myself with people who are not dim bulbs..

romantic candlelight, though not good for reading.

Sunlight filtered through a forest canopy.
Hoosier banana, that is certainly beautiful.
Moonlight and natural sunlight. Tho the latter not blaring at my eyes.
Black lights are pretty cool. Mood lighting has a Zen like effect on me. Track lighting tends to be a bit linear, in my opinion. Starlight is appealing as long as it is dark enough to enjoy it.
Late summer sun , just before sunset, falling across the wheatfields. Reminds me of home.
