I’m not touching the physics with a ten foot pole, but I think a *visual* theory for how the tree-light looks is that the “light” itself is luminous, so all the light doesn’t actually radiate from the tree, but the radiance from the tree takes the form of rays/halos which in turn radiate more light, on throughout the atmosphere, as if the light is a substance that looks like light but does not behave like light (rays traveling in a straight line = totally optional)

Now that’s a cool idea!!  😀
Maybe it’s a kind of luminous “pollen” the trees emit, the particles of which disperse light wherever they go? A sort of mist of light, too fine to touch or smell, hovering mostly at cloud level, fading as the tree it came from goes dormant. The day/night cycles could be like a radial wave coming off the trees every 12 hours in a pulse. I quite like that visual. :3
