In MN 127 - Anuruddha Sutta, ''radiance'' is mentioned. (in the Bhikkhu Bodhi translation)

Verse 7 - "There are, householder, these four kinds of reappearance [in a future state of] being. What four? Here someone abides resolved and pervading "limited radiance " on the dissolution of the body, after death, he appears in the company of the gods of Limited Radiance. Here someone abides resolved upon and pervading "immeasurable radiance".... "defiled radiance"....."pure radiance "......etc

The sutta can be read here, except 'effulgence' is used instead of 'radiance' in this translation.
