Morphology

lowlights = low + light (semi-transparent) = low + light + s

This is a figurative extension from 'highlights' (the best parts) to 'lowlights' (the worst parts); the relation is inferable but metaphorical rather than strictly literal.

Etymology

The word lowlights comes from low ('not high') and light (as in highlights 'the best moments'). So, lowlights are the opposite of highlights and mean the most disappointing or unpleasant parts of an event or experience.
