Definition
光芒 (guāng máng) describes brilliant, radiant light that spreads outward — more poetic and literary than 光 (guāng) or 光线 (guāng xiàn). Use it for strong, beautiful light (sunlight, a smile) or metaphorically for brilliance. It is a noun only, unlike 光彩 or 光辉 which also have adjective senses.
