point lights


Explanation:
'Point light' is a term used in computer graphics to describe an omnidirectional point-sized lightsource. They are used to simulate small local lights like light-bulbs that shine in all directions (as opposed to spotlights, the Sun...).

I don't know how appropiate this term would be in an interrior design context.
