Do you mean lighter in color? Halley's comet has an albedo of about 0.04, which is the color of tar. Our Moon has an albedo of about 0.07, which is the color of weathered asphalt.
If you mean lighter as in less massive... we've never seen a comet as massive as our Moon, but there are some pretty tiny moons out there in the outer solar system; a few comets might be larger than some of them.

∙ 15y agoNo. This becomes obvious specially when you take into account that all light coming from comets, is in fact a small percentage of reflected sunlight. Comets do not produce light. They reflect the light of the closest star. Under some circumstances a comet can seem brighter than the background stars.
