No. It is used only in advertising or in sarcasm.
'Lite' is a copywriters' spelling of light, in the context of weight. The version 'lite' was designed for marketing and advertising purposes to imply that a product or the contents of a product are less fattening or harmful than the normal version. Using a word that makes you think 'light' but does not literally say 'light' saves the product producer and marketer the necessity of proving a claim.
Lite has come into such common use that it is now used to refer to something intellectually or emotionally less than it might otherwise be; it has come in to such common use that it is often used interchangeably with 'light'; it has come in to such common use that some people don't even know that 'light' is the correct spelling. If it hasn't already, it will soon become a word you will find in the dictionary.
