In a theatre, the footlights are the row of lights along the front of the stage. a row of lights along the front of the stage in a theatre spotlight. Row of lights set across the front of a stage floor to light the scene. The oil lamps and candles in use in the 17th century eventually gave way to gas and electricity.
