nonluminescent
Emits no light
Not producing light through luminescence.
A nonluminescent material neither glows nor emits light on its own—it may reflect light but doesn't generate it through chemical reactions, electrical stimulation, or other processes: The nonluminescent paint was invisible in the dark.
