"Dazzled" here in the US has a slight connotation of being befuddled
by something wonderful, as opposed to something merely bright.

illustrates this; although the first (and presumably most common)
definition has to do with excessive light, the second definition uses
synonyms like "astonish" and "impress" and all three of the example
sentences for the verbs have the traditional associations with pretty
things (women, gems, splendor).
