Hi, I would like to know which of these two sentences is correct and natural in speech.

Click the toggle-switch opposite the "Reader comment captcha" to enable it if the toggle-switch is not yet lit or green.

Thank you so much.

I believe lit to be correct.
Yes, I suspect lighted is archaic in most or all uses.

Yeah, I've read that people only used it regularly before the second world war.
This is tricky, but in this case at least I think lit is usual and lighted is uncommon or archaic.
(Sorry about the confusing deletion earlier, but my message has not changed much!)
