In a tight contest, the Mountain Men clicked into overdrive in the final quarter booting seven goals and posting a 15.16 (106) to 12.12 (84) win.
Pat Bren booted five goals for the home side to also clinch best-on-ground honours.
Damien Jenvey, coach Paul Harrison and Jake Woods were also pivotal when the match was up for grabs in the final term.
Bright sit outside the top-five on percentage after six rounds.
IN OTHER MATCHES
Harrison was relieved to emerge with the four points and remain in striking distance of the other finals contenders.
"We knew we would face an up uphill battle to remain in finals contention if we let the match slip," Harrison said.
"The season is still relatively young but it was basically a must-win game for us.
"Moyhu are a handy young side that like to run hard when you give them the space.
"If Moyhu can keep that young list together they will keep improving each season.
"To their credit, Moyhu played a contested brand of football that wouldn't have been a great spectacle to watch.
"But when we were able to get our running game going in the last-quarter we were able to score fairly quickly.
"Some of the kids in Damien Jenvey and Pat Bren stood tall in that last quarter."
