incandescences

Heat-produced light states

Incandescences is the plural of incandescence, which refers to the emission of light from a heated object—the glow of metal in a forge, the filament in a light bulb.

The word extends to anything brilliantly radiant or intensely passionate: the incandescences of youth, brief incandescences of genius in an otherwise dull career.
