Sci-Fi lighting is often used to discribe screengrabs so poorly lit that they appear almost black. The term comes from the Sci-Fi Network's useage of poor lighting in their original films to lower production costs. Often they will produce a film which features several scenes which is mostly an almost pitch black night sceen with some beast growling. During the time of Caption This! on their website, cappers began to notice this trend and began joking about how poor the lighting was. This evolved into calling all poorly lit screengrabs into having captions like "lighting by Sci-Fi" and such and thus the gag about Sci-Fi lighting was born.
