Usage notes
- Use 'luce' for general light (sun, lamp). For 'lightweight' or 'pale color,' use 'leggero' or 'chiaro.'
- Avoid confusing 'luce' with 'lume' (poetic/archaic for light) or 'lucentezza' (brightness/shine).
- In engineering, 'luce' = span/gap. Not interchangeable with 'portata' (load-bearing capacity).
