The Flashing Lightbulb Sura called simply "An Noor" or The Light:


You can find most of this (evidence for following post) in what is known as a "mandatory"
Sura called An Noor (a Sura mind you that describes the modern light bulb, moth behavior and the absence of light at the furthest depths of the sea and I suggest reading the entire Sura and reflecting on it but I will post a few highlights of it here):

[Noor 24:11] Indeed those who have brought this great accusation are a group from among you; do not consider it bad for you; on the contrary, it is good for you; for each man among them is the sin that he has earned; and for the one among them who played the
greatest part in it – for him is a terrible punishment.

Noor 24:33] And those who do not have the means to get married must keep chaste till Allah provides them the resources by His munificence; and the bondwomen in your possession who, in order to earn something, seek a letter of freedom from you – then write it for them if you consider some goodness in them; and help them in their cause with Allah’s wealth which He has bestowed upon you; and do not force your bondwomen into the dirty profession, while they
wish to save themselves, in order to earn some riches of the worldly life; and if one forces them then indeed Allah, upon their remaining compelled, is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[Noor 24:35] Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth; the example of His light is like a niche in which is a lamp; the lamp is in a glass; the glass is as if it were a star shining like a pearl,
kindled by the blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west – it is close that the oil itself get ablaze although the fire does not touch it; light upon light; Allah guides towards His light whomever He wills; and Allah illustrates examples for mankind; and Allah knows everything.


[Noor 24:40] Or like realms of darkness on a deep sea, which is covered by a wave, the wave covered by another wave, and above it is a cloud; layers of darkness upon darkness; if he removes his hand it does not seem visible; and the one to whom Allah does not provide
light – there is no light for him anywhere.

**Comparing and contrasting the mysterious behavior of moths (still not completely understood) and the luminescence of creatures at the bottom of the sea with whom the last prophet was not aware of and it is only recently understood that these creatures give off light for various reasons one of which is for the reason of attracting prey and another for preventing predators from capitalizing on the darkness to sneak up on them. Gives a whole new meaning to the Red Light Districts of the planet eh?
