Consciousness and/vs experience

I am intrigued by the distinction between consciousness and experience, if there is one, or how they may interact/inform each other.

Some inquiries, for instance: do we experience consciousness? Or is consciousness what shines the light on experience, so to speak?

A potential application: if you are in a coma, it may be said that one is unconscious, but that one’s body is still experiencing the world.

Anyway, kind of two really vast concepts, so I’ll just leave it at that for now for discussion.

That's not conscious experience though. It's really a different sense of the word "experience".

That's something to watch out for in philosophy - in colloquial language we use words that often have several closely related senses, and it's easy to confuse or conflate them without realizing it, resulting in invalid arguments. The equivocation fallacy addresses this issue.
