Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：sports stadium、theatre or studio、outdoor event floodlight 是通用中性词，不算正式或口语，多用于指称体育场、剧院/摄影棚或户外场所使用的泛光灯/投光灯；在日常描述和书面说明中都比较常见。
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上以 -light 结尾的词都读 /laɪt/，与 floodlight 结尾的 /laɪt/ 押韵。注意 flood- 中的 oo 发 /ʌ/，所以 floodlight 读 /ˈflʌdˌlaɪt/，不要根据拼写读成 /ˈfluːdˌlaɪt/（food /fuːd/ 才是 /uː/）。
