soft glow
Dim, warm light
A soft glow is gentle, diffused light without harsh edges or intensity.
Candles cast a soft glow; so do dimmed lamps and screens at low brightness.
The phrase often suggests warmth or intimacy: The room had the soft glow of firelight.
Figuratively, a soft glow can describe a subtle radiance in someone's expression or complexion: She had a soft glow about her after the good news.
