Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective + adjective + noun composition: 'soft' (gentle/diffuse) + 'white' (color) + 'light' (brightness), so the combined meaning is directly derivable from the parts. This descriptive, compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English syntax, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Soft white light shows a simple picture: a lamp giving a gentle, white glow that is not harsh or bright. So soft means the light is gentle and white tells its color, which is why the phrase means 'easy on the eyes'.
