This is one of a small group of verbs which have alternative forms for the past tense and past participle. Both lighted and lit can be used in all varieties of English, but lit is much more common for the two forms mentioned. When you want to use the past participle before a noun, however, the two forms work differently. Lighted tends to be used when the verb is not modified in any way, as in lighted windows; a lighted match. When you modify the verb with an adverb, lit is much the more common form: a brightly lit office; pleasantly lit corridors.
