You cannot classify the phase of matter of light. The particles of light are much different than the particles of ordinary matter. At a large level, if we take the measurements, the light is a transverse wave carried by disturbances in an electric field and a magnetic field, each in perpendicular oscillations to each other, and each perpendicular to the travel of the wave. At the smallest level possible, there is a smallest piece of which you could call light. These are called photons. They are also the force carrier particles of electric and magnetic forces. These particles have zero rest mass, but they have an effective mass when in motion at the speed of light
