it is not capable to produce light but it is capable by reflecting light
No, because traffic lights are charged, not naturally bright.
As a gas inside luminous lights.

no. Because your walking along at night with your fluorescent jacket on and a car is coming their lights reflects on your jacket and that's how it looks 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.

Street lights are illuminated. They emit light to illuminate the surrounding area.
A word beginning with L such as lovely, lemon or lycra :D
Luminous refers to objects that emit or reflect light. Natural luminous sources include the sun, stars, and bioluminescent organisms like fireflies. Artificial luminous sources are man-made, such as light bulbs, neon signs, and LED lights. Both types play essential roles in providing illumination for various environments and activities.
LED light have a much higher light output per watt: luminous efficacy (lm/W). Incandescent lights have luminous efficacy ranging from 14 to 18 lm/W, whereas LED lights have a typical efficacy of 100 lm/W at high outputs. It means that a LED lamp of only 1/6 the watt rating can replace incandescent light bulbs.
It is 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! :)
