Morphology

lighted = light (transparent) = light + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival use of 'light' meaning 'to illuminate', so 'lighted' means 'illuminated'.

Etymology

Lighted comes from the verb light, which means 'to make bright'. Today this often refers to giving a place light with a lamp or a lightbulb, so a 'lighted' street or room is one that has been lit and is bright.
