It's not so much electrical light, as it is the controlling of light by "the system," that's evil. Edison profiteering by being the servant of the ruling class, at the expense of renegades like Tesla. And in GR, Byron the Bulb haplessly struggling to give electricity over to the people by making it unprofitable for the powers that be.
