luminescently
In glowing fashion
In a manner that emits light without heat, as through chemical reaction, biological process, or electrical stimulation rather than burning.
The word describes how something glows or shines with this cool light: The jellyfish drifted luminescently through the dark water.
Often used figuratively for anything that seems to glow with inner radiance: Her eyes shone luminescently in the candlelight.
