Illuminated: to MAKE a place bright with LIGHT, or to shine a light on something.
Brilliant sunshine illuminated the scene.
Government buildings are ILLUMINATED on the Republic day.
Lighten: to become brighter or lighter in color, or to make something brighter or lighter in color.
The skies lightened and the rain stopped.
So, difference is Illumination me SOME EQUIPMENT or bla bla. Will make something bright whereas LIGHTENED me something ITSELF will become bright LIKE CLOUDSS.
