incandescent glow

Heated filament's light

A warm, bright light produced by something heated to the point of glowing—like the filament in a traditional light bulb or embers in a fire.

The phrase often describes soft, radiant illumination with golden or reddish tones: The incandescent glow of the sunset filled the room.

Figuratively, it can suggest intense warmth or vitality: Her face had an incandescent glow after the performance.
