Glitterlight

Glitterlight is a term used to describe a visual phenomenon characterized by the appearance of tiny, shimmering specks of light. These specks are often perceived as transient and can manifest in various settings, from natural environments to artificial light sources. The effect can be likened to a scattering of very fine glitter, hence the name.

The perception of glitterlight can be influenced by factors such as illumination intensity, the surface material where light reflects, and the viewer's visual acuity. In natural settings, it might be observed as sunlight catching dust motes or dew drops. In manufactured products, glitterlight is often an intentional design element, achieved through the use of reflective particles embedded in materials like paint, fabric, or cosmetics. These particles are typically small and flat, designed to reflect light in a diffuse yet noticeable manner. The precise size, shape, and composition of these reflective elements can alter the intensity and color of the glitterlight effect.
