What does "white light" signify in a lift?

"White light" signifies that the lift was successful and passed by the referees. In powerlifting competitions, referees use a system of lights to indicate the validity of each lift performed by the athlete. When all referees activate their white lights for a lift, it confirms that the lifter has met the technical and performance standards required for a successful lift. This includes proper execution of the lift and adherence to the specific rules governing the sport, such as form, depth, and command compliance. The occurrence of white lights is essential for the lifter to progress in the competition and is a clear signal of success.
