If you're chronically online, you might have heard of the British term for overhead lighting: Simply, 'the big light'. La La Land actor Ryan Gosling first learned the term in front of an audience of millions via BBC Radio 1, when host Greg James discussed the unpleasantness of such a fixture – and rather unsurprisingly, Ryan Gosling similarly wasn't a fan.
'[It's a big, big, bright light in the middle of the room,' Greg explains. 'Lamps are nice, soft lighting. But the big light is like we're in a [grocery store],' to which Ryan nods in agreement. 'I couldn't agree more,' he says.
