un envionnement lumineux bien que légèrement éclairé

il s'agit probablement d'un jeu de lumières subtil !

neutral Tony M : Not really, 'soft' doesn't mean 'légèrement', but just 'the opposite of harsh'

clair malgré une faible lumière

Il me semble que les français disent plutôt "clairs" que "lumineux", un peu vieilli.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : That would be contradictory, and 'soft' certainly does not mean 'faible'

English term (edited): bright but softly lit environment

une ambiance doté d'un éclairage à la fois clair et doux / tamisé

I think 'doux' is the right word for 'soft' in this context, but seems to me to beg the addition of the word 'lighting' to make it work.

I don't think 'tamisé' is actually quite appropriate for this retail dispaly context, but I just throw it in for what it's worth.

Never mind, at least you have got the right sense in your version, even though it doesn't correspond to the one you've curiously chosen.
Note from asker:
Merci Tony, mais c'est trop tard, j'ai déjà rendu la traduction en mettant "lumineux mais tamisé", à défaut de mieux...
