Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically, not obstructed by a black cell. Lights may not illuminate each other. Clues represent the number of lights in the (up to) four cells surrounding the clue

Two shaded groups belonging to the same network may not have the same shape and size, counting rotations and reflections as the same
