Spanish term or phrase: atmósferas de luz
Hi all,

I'm working on translating brochure for a renovated property in Barcelona from Spanish (ES) into English (UK). The phrase in question appears in the section about its stained glass.

"Las vidrieras permiten crear atmosferas de luz y espacios únicos, y también pueden sustituir con eficacia a la pintura para plasmar ciertas historias, leyendas y poemas, tanto por la ambientación como por la iconografía."

I don't like "light atmospheres". Could anyone help with anything better please?

Many thanks :)

unique and distinctively lit spaces


Explanation:
I do not think that “illusions” works in the context of a brochure highlighting the features of a property (i.e., for either commercial or residential use).

So perhaps something like this.

bright ambiences


Explanation:
Although I think this sounds dreadful, these kinds of texts usually do. Like this one:

Note to Spanish speakers: "relax" is not a noun.

But seriously though, it actually sort of works in this, less execrable one:
