Morphology

superlight = light (transparent) = super + light

Formation is an intensification: 'super-' + 'light' meaning 'very bright', a direct semantic composition.

Etymology

Superlight combines super ('very') and light ('bright' or full of light), so a superlight lamp or flash is 'very bright' and makes a space easy to see.
