Answer No, not in itself. Metal can be used as a component in artificial light sources, and metal can be used to reflect light, but metal does not make light. Answer Metals, when heated to a certain temperature, can emit light. For example, Light bulbs have filaments of Tungsten in them. Electricity flowing through the Tungsten heats it up and it emits light.
