Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'lighting' (the use/arrangement of artificial light) combined with 'industry' (sector producing goods/services) yields a sector concerned with lighting products and systems. This is a transparent, cross-linguistically common noun-noun compound structure that a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand.
Etymology
Lighting industry is the name for the businesses that make, sell, and install lights. Imagine factories making bulbs and shops putting in lamps: lighting means the lights and industry means the business, so it now means 'the businesses that make, sell, and install lighting products'.
