From the README

Distant Lights is a physics-informed software instrument and analysis toolkit for synthesizing sound from intensity-modulated light models. It combines electrical hum, photoacoustic response, sonification, sequencing, layering, and export workflows in a single system for composition, prototyping, and experimental comparison.

Sound associated with lighting electronics, transformers, ballasts, inductors, capacitors, PWM drivers, and enclosure resonances.

Auditory mapping of slow flashing or pulsed light patterns into audible output for composition and analysis.
