Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, elevators and public transport vehicles have a small lamp that lights up when a passenger presses the 'stop' button. Saying the light is 'encendida' is the most natural way to describe its status; avoid using 'es' because the light’s condition is temporary, not an inherent characteristic.
