OK, maybe we have different definitions of what brightness is.... "A or B?"
Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of "brightness"):
blaze; brilliance; glare (great brightness)
brilliancy; luster; lustre; splendor; splendour (a quality that outshines the usual)
effulgence; radiance; radiancy; refulgence; refulgency; shine (the quality of being bright and sending out rays of light)
iridescence; opalescence (the visual property of something having a milky brightness and a play of colors from the surface)
glint (a spatially localized brightness)
flash (a momentary brightness)
glisten; glister; glitter; scintillation; sparkle (the quality of shining with a bright reflected light)
dazzle (brightness enough to blind partially and temporarily)
