English term or phrase: stary grove of lights

Voici la phrase: comment éviter la répétition lumière/lumière et traduire l'image du "grove":
Il s'agit du début du chapitre 1 (contexte: cérémonie des Oscars)
"Accross the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, crystal chandeliers threw a light as pink as the californian dawn. On Stage, a stary grove of lights twinkled against an amethyst sky."

Par avance merci!

cf. phrase svp .... juste pour des pistes

Explanation:
La pavillon X est entièrement illuminé par des lustres de cristal projetant un éclairage aussi rose que l'aube californienne. L'estrade est éclairée par un bosquet étoilé qui se réfléchit en scintillant sur un ciel d'améthyste.

cf. phrase svp Petite tentative ...

Explanation:
Pour grove, je dirais bouquet, gerbe de lumières.

Donc pour light as pink, je dirais éclairage.

C'est une idée parmi d'autres : tout n'est qu'apparence et littérature !
