In a traditional light bulb, the electrical energy is converted to heat. The filament gets hot and emits the thermal energy as light. The electrical energy itself is not directly converted to light but goes through the thermal energy stage.There are many kinds of lights and more complicated processes which are not described in this brief answer.
chemical energy is converted to electrical energy via the process of corrosion of one of the metal plates in each batteryelectrical energy is converted to thermal energy via the tungsten resistance wire filament of the lightbullbthermal energy is converted to light by heating the filament of the lightbulb to incandescence
Electrical filament
Electrical energy is converted into heat. Most of this is emitted as infrared radiation; a lesser amount is also radiated as visible light (usually the main purpose of the lamp).
Chemical energy (in the battery) to electrical energy, This is usually converted to heat energy to heat up the filament in the light-bulb. At sufficiently high temperatures, the heat converts to light.
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
The electrical energy is converted to both heat and light energy.

high intensity discharge
Chemical potential energy is converted to electrical potential energy. When the circuit is closed, the electrical potential becomes kinetic energy as electrons flow through the conductor. When the electrons meet the resistance of the flashlight lamp, they do work on the filament, converting electron flow into heat, causing the filament to increase in temperature. The filament is designed to convert that heat into radiant light.
Electrical filament
With copper wire.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Improved Answer By: AP_METThe voltage x amps current of the battery discharges electrical wattage power in the form of electons passing through a tungsten filament.This tungsten filament is built within a glass bulb which has had all air (78% nitrogen & 21 % oxygen) evacuated from it and filled with an inert nobel gas.The tungsten filament will become extremely hot as electrical wattage passes through it and will glow nearly white-hot within the non-air gas inside of the glass bulb.The energy transfer from the battery to the light bulb's filament is as follows:Chemical energy from the battery converted into electrical energy passed through the tungsten filament converted into heat energy then into light energy.--------------------------------End Improved Wiki Answer ---------------------------------

Chemical energy (in the battery) to electrical energy, This is usually converted to heat energy to heat up the filament in the light-bulb. At sufficiently high temperatures, the heat converts to light.
light bulbs have metal contacts that connect to an electrical circuit and a filament. power lights up the filament in the bulb .
