Description

Definition
LIGHTSOURCE reports the main source of lighting in the household.

The information in LIGHTSOURCE is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
