Catalysis of the incorporation of one atom from molecular oxygen into a compound and the reduction of the other atom of oxygen to water. Catalysis of the reaction: O2 + ATP + Photinus luciferin = light + pyrophosphate + AMP + CO2 + oxidized Photinus luciferin. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which hydrogen or electrons are transferred from one donor, and one oxygen atom is incorporated into a donor. Catalysis of the oxidation of luciferin. The reaction results in light emission as luciferin returns to the ground state after enzymatic oxidation. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which hydrogen or electrons are transferred from one donor, and molecular oxygen is incorporated into a donor.
