Upon reflection, it looks bright (4)
I believe the answer is:
moon
'it looks bright' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moon that I've seen before include "High light" , "Night light" , "Daydream - Europa of Jupiter, say" , "Happy to be over this" , "low point" .)
