légáram

Légáram is a term of Hungarian origin that generally refers to a type of light, often festive, decorative garland or string of lights. Historically, it was associated with Christmas and other holiday celebrations, where strings of candles or later, electric bulbs, would be hung from trees, buildings, or other structures to create a luminous display. The term itself is a compound of "légi" (aerial, airy) and "áram" (current, flow), suggesting a flowing, airborne illumination.

While the term is most commonly linked to Christmas lights, it can also be used more broadly to describe any arrangement of lights strung together for decorative purposes, regardless of the occasion. This could include lights used for summer festivals, garden parties, or even permanent architectural lighting installations that resemble garlands. The visual effect of a légáram is typically one of cheerfulness, festivity, and the enhancement of an atmosphere. The materials and design of légáram have evolved significantly over time, from simple candles to sophisticated LED systems capable of various colors and patterns.
