fire glow

Flame's warm radiance

Fire glow is the warm, flickering light cast by a fire, especially the soft radiance visible from a distance or reflected on surfaces: The fire glow from the hearth lit the room.

The term evokes cozy, ambient warmth rather than bright illumination—the kind of light that draws people closer on cold nights.
