If you are using actual fluorescent lights and nuclear energy and so forth, or fluorescent lights which have been slightly improved or altered by magic but are essentially the same technology, this is generally called **urban fantasy.** While "urban" means "city," in this context it means _fantasy or magical elements in modern society._ The setting can be a city, town, or country.

If you are using fairy dust inside a long tube for a light bulb, such that it is entirely magical, that's just **fantasy in a contemporary setting**.
