Just like the title suggests using Basic rules, but with a twist.
The two lights have to be artificial in the image. Artificial meaning that any light that is Earthly bound, and can be handled by man either with a flame, or in a man made housing is eligible.
No natural light. Any light that streams from beyond the protection of the Earths atmosphere such as the Sun, Moon or star light are all ineligible within this challenge.
The beauty of this challenge is that those two lights can be anything else, including candles, blazing camp fires, pocket lighters, flash lights of all sorts, LED's, Plasma, Laser, and wooden or paper matches, Tungsten, Quartz, HMI, florescent, Sodium Vapor, Mercury Vapor, HDI, Gas ignited, petroleum based, wax based ignition, Zenon, lime based ignition, gun powder ignition, and burning paper .
Just use your imagination.

It's just a term we use in my department when there is an easy set up, or if you just want to say something among the controlled chaos that is produced during a lighting set up.
Candles are LEGAL!!!!

When you said no natural light, it got me thinking. Wouldn't fire be considered a natural light? It is one of the natural elements. Sun and star light is from fire although moon light is reflective light.
Wouldn't saying artifical or man made light only, be more accurate?
Just a thought while I was waiting for my coffee to kick in. :D

Hen pecking.
If candles are legal, and candle light obviously can only work with a flame, then, hence forth, a blazing fire could be considered legal as well.
Edited the first post to make certainly clear, and void of confusion.

Candles are man made, as are camp fires and matches. I suppose forest fires would be ineligible, unless known to be caused by a human.

Forest fires are eligible, as long as there is a second light within the image.
However, DPC and myself do not take any responsibility to the starting of any forest fires, or do we adhere to such activity.

Ok, just for the hell of it, lets just say, if the light is Earthly bound, it is legal.
If the light is heavenly bound weather the light comes from a vacuum, fluidic, or vaporistic universe, that may lie above the protective bubble that surrounds the planet Earth, no matter what dimension, or worm hole, or black hole, or what ever plane of consciousness that that can protrude from another solar system is considered ineligible.
If a fish that is caught, or a bug can be caged, or some plant can be used, or some animal cold blooded, or warm blooded is willing, and can perform photo-luminance while using a secondary source of light, then it is eligible.

IN other words, the Icelanders and the auroras are out of luck in this one :-) But wait a minute... ANY landscape is out of the challenge unless it is entirely lit, at night, by two artifical light sources...
I'm thinking 2-hour exposure at midnight on cloudy night and criss-crossing a field waving two flashlights... :-)

Oh, wait! I got it! ARSON! A forest fire! A field of dried grass in flames! Burning warehouses! The possibilities are mind-boggling!
