Shines forth brightly; radiates or emits brilliant light in all directions.
Third-person singular present of 'effulgee,' from Latin 'effulgere' (to shine forth). The verb form describes the active process of emitting brilliant radiance.
While 'shine' is common, 'effulges' specifically means the light is radiating *outward and forth*—it's the difference between a light bulb that glows versus one that actively projects brightness into the space around it.
