光明 (guāng míng) — (noun) light, brightness, radiance; (adjective) bright, promising; openhearted, honest

Definition

光明 covers both 'light/brightness' and, figuratively, 'a bright/openhearted' outlook or character. 亮 and 明亮 are only the literal 'bright'; 光彩 and 光辉 add a sense of honor or glory that 光明 lacks.
