Morphology

well-lighted = lighted (transparent) = well + light + ed

Clear addition of the intensifier 'well-' to 'lighted' yielding an intensified adjective meaning brightly or adequately illuminated.

Etymology

Well-lighted joins well ('in a good or complete way') and light ('bright' or 'lit'). Like well-known or well-dressed, it means 'properly' or 'fully' lit, so a well-lighted place has plenty of light and is easy to see in.
