If I would tell my grandmother it had a light, she would probably not know what I meant, while if I said it had a backlight, she would know exactly, as she also has an Ipad. (she's of the generation that would call my tablet an Ipad as well, even though it's a Windows 10 Professional tablet from Dell).

But we're getting off-topic.
