It uses a mesh dome that wraps around the light and a fresnel effect, that fades the lights visibility out towards the edges.
You could create a similar effect with just just a billboard sprite, but I like how I can make this effect more directional (lights that shine at you have a brighter bloom) and it creates an illusion of caustics, when the bloom mesh clips into a wall.
