Yes, it is as it produces light from electricity. As said in http://www.schoolsobservatory.org.uk/astro/stars/lumin.shtml

Definition of luminous and non-luminous sources of light?
what is luminous, non luminous and illuminous source of light.
Are satellites luminous or non-luminous?
Non-luminous. Objects which produce light of their own or give out or emit their own light are called luminous objects. Objects which do not produce light of their own, on the other hand, are called non-luminous objects. Luminous objects are objects like stars, sun and other celestial bodies which give out their own light. Objects surrounding us are not such light emitting objects. Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.
How can non luminous bodies be made luminous?
by reflecting the light energy
What does lumin mean?
full of light / not full of light
Is a glow in the dark ball luminous or illuminated?
It is a source of light, hence luminous.
Definition of luminous and non-luminous sources of light?
what is luminous, non luminous and illuminous source of light.
Does a candle light reflect light or is it luminous?
It is luminous.
Differentiate luminous and non-luminous?
luminous - emits light e.g. the sunnon- luminous - does not emit light though will often reflect light e.g. the moon.
What is a luminous light source?
Luminous light is a light source but another name for it.
What is luminism?
Luminous means shining without light.
What is the answer of luminous?
luminous means that it gives light
Are satellites luminous or non-luminous?

Objects which do not produce light of their own, on the other hand, are called non-luminous objects. Luminous objects are objects like stars, sun and other celestial bodies which give out their own light. Objects surrounding us are not such light emitting objects. Therefore, we are surrounded by non-luminous objects.
What are luminos body?
Bodies which emit light are luminous bodies and those who don't emit light are known as non luminous bodies Example - stars are luminous bodies while planets are non luminous bodies Tube light is a luminous body while a chair is non luminous
Is a lamp luminous or non luminous?
Planets( Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) and also Moons are Non-Luminous objects they don't emit light. The reason we see them because they reflect light from the Sun.
Is a burning gas lantern is a luminous or non luminous?
It gives off light. That is what luminous means.
Is gold non luminous object?
sun (a luminous object) emits its own light and the moon ( a non luminous object ) reflects the light from the sun to earth that's how we can see the moon. The same way gold is a non luminous object.
Is a torch luminous or non luminous?
At first light it DOES sound a bit confusing. First, the definition of the term 'NON-LUMINOUS'; 'Not capable of PRODUCING light but can be capable of REFLECTING light from another source'. For instance, our MOON is NON-LUMINOUS as it REFLECTS light from the Sun. The SUN is LUMINOUS as it produces light that is REFLECTED off the surface of the moon. And so, LUMINOUS means capable of PRODUCING light. Now closely examine your flashlight. The BATTERIES produce electrical energy which is transferred to the BULB which emits light, thus LUMINOUS. The tiny little BULB emits quite a lot of light for its small size. However, the bulb is contained within a concave silvered cone which REFLECTS,(NON-LUMINOUS) gathers and channels the emitted light from the BULB (LUMINOUS) into a BEAM which ILLUMINATES whatever you are pointing the flashlight at. Our cameras would be just paperweights if there were no NON-LUMINOUS surfaces for the light to REFLECT off of, back into the camera lens, onto the 'plate' thus etching the image. For example, take a photograph in the dark without the flash and what do you get. No LUMINOUS, no NON-LUMINOUS. And so there we have LUMINOUS and NON-LUMINOUS, ILLUMINATING our lives. Enjoy! :)
