Lone Light (2017) is a photo manipulation abstract art piece made by Tumblr artist Quentin Deronzier. In 2019, the image became a meme after it was reposted to r/Bossfight under the title of "Sunman, lord of light", spreading to other subreddits such as r/DankMemesFromSite19 and r/Minecraft, as well as other websites. As the image became distanced from the original Tumblr post, it became generically known as the "Glowing Man" or the "Glowing Guy".

Subject-wise, Lone Light consists of a human, his features indeterminable due his entire body emitting a bright yellow glow. He is sitting facing camera's left, at a booth in an empty restaurant with a mural of a forest behind him. The table has on it a ketchup bottle, a mustard bottle, and a metal pitcher. Due to the quite literally faceless nature of the solo character, other character may easily be redrawn or drawn over in the same situation.
