Luminous Produce Light Producing Filled Ended Recital Performance

word luminous
definition (1) Producing or seeming to produce light. (2) Filled with light.
eg_sentence She ended her recital with a luminous performance of Ravel's song cycle, and the crowd called her back for repeated encores.
explanation Luminous, like its synonyms radiant, shining, glowing, and lustrous, is generally a positive adjective, especially when it describes something that doesn't literally glow, such as a face, a performance, or a poem. Luminous signs depend on a gas such as neon, krypton, argon, xenon, or radon—and you can use luminous (DayGlo) paint to make your own signs. New technologies have now given us luminous fabrics, which are being used to produce striking or creepy effects in clothing, upholstery, and interior surfaces
