light burst
Quick intense illumination
A light burst is a sudden, intense flash of illumination—brief and often dramatic.
The term appears in photography for a technique or effect where light radiates outward in visible rays, and in astronomy for rapid increases in stellar brightness.
More generally, any abrupt eruption of light qualifies: A light burst from the explosion lit up the night sky.
