Note
The comparative carries every shade of bright with it, not only emitted light. A surface can be brighter for its luster, a room for being better lit, a day for fairer weather, and a figurative point for being more plainly apparent. It often follows a verb of change, as when a distant headlight is rapidly becoming brighter. The comparison is then with the same thing a moment earlier.
