high voltage engineering / lighting (systems)
Explanation:
I put the systems in there behind lighting because, given the nature of the other terms you just asked about it would also be a system that is being described.

"...and serves as an independent, non-industrial,
university research center for high voltage engineering."

electrical engineering / lighting (illumination)


Explanation:
While Ernst does list "power engineering" as a viable translation, this could azlso include steam power, nuclear power etc. The context is clearly to electrical engineering (Starkstrom = high voltage).

Illuminbation is possible, but (IMO) lighting is better, because it includes the the hardware, while illumination could be misunderstood as only the "giving of light".
