    lampa = is the electrical device (lamp, the whole setup or just the bulb). bulb = glödlampa. light = ljus. candle = ljus (stearinljus). Sunlight = solljus

      What I meant by light is any device meant for casting light. In English you would only use lamp for a very specific type of light.

            Is "vi har" pronounced as "vi a" not "vi hor"? Sorry I couldn't give exact transcription
