Lighting and special effects wouldn't have been an option for the cast at the Globe Theatre. A basic set, costumes and props is all the cast would have had to perform Shakespeare's works. The actor's skill alone would have to transform the bland stage in the middle of the day, into a scene that could take place at night, etc.
This is precisely the reason for the eloquent speech and descriptions of the settings in the dialogues, monologues, and soliloquys in Shakespeare's plays.

Natural Lighting - the original Globe theatre was an open air amphitheater.
Canons were included in the Globe Theatre Special Effects. The cannon was situated inside the roof, in the attic above the "Heavens".
yes there were trap doors and pully systems :)

God would lean through the clouds and make them magically appeared.
the globe theater was lighted by daylight or some times torches
Many trap doors and pulley systems were at use but nothing special in our day, but what made it impressive was how it was used back then.
The Globe Theatre had a thatched roof, which was designed to allow natural light to illuminate the stage during performances. The roof was open in the center, known as the "heavens," providing additional lighting and allowing for special effects. This design contributed to the unique atmosphere of the theatre while also posing fire hazards, leading to its eventual replacement with a tiled roof after a fire in 1613.

Yes, there was sunlight. That's why they put on polays in the afternoon.
