闪光 (shǎn guāng) — (verb-object) to flash, to sparkle, to flicker; (noun) flash (of light)

Definition

A verb-object phrase: 'to flash/sparkle' (verbs like 闪 + object 光) or the noun 'flash (of light)', as in a camera flash. Same characters used in both roles; the verb often reduplicates (闪闪光) for a brief, flickering effect.
