What does light source refer to?
Light source refers to the main contributor of photons. In most instances "Out Doors" will mean the Sun is the main light source (often the only one) during the Day, or the Moon at night, even Stars can contribute some light. Other sources of light are manufactured, such as; fire, incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent light bulbs, neon lights and LED's just to name a few. Each has their own spectrum of light output. All artificial light sources are generally graded into different parts of the spectrum produced by sun light, for instance, common compact Fluorescent lights are normally labelled 'Warm white' (2800 to 3200 degrees Kelvin), 'Daylight' (4200 to 4700 dK)and Cool white' (5800 to 6800 dK).

Is the moon a light source?
No, moon is not a light source, if we consider the moon as a light source, the mirror will also be called a source of light!!!! Every object seen by reflecting light from another object is called a non luminous body. As mirror, book, cup are not light sources, moon is not also a light source because it just reflect the light from the sun.
