Morphology
The meaning 'a light for a room' is directly and transparently composed from 'room' (indoor area) + 'light' (lamp/device). This simple noun+noun composition follows regular English compounding and matches cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words should readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Room light is a simple name made from room and light, meaning a lamp that lights the whole room. That's why it means 'a light fixture or lamp that provides general illumination for a room'.
