If light is absorbed by a substance, it is converted to heat.
Heat and/or light.

heat
When a candle is lit, the potential energy stored in the wax is converted into thermal energy (heat) and light energy through the process of combustion. This energy change is exothermic, meaning that energy is released in the form of heat and light.
When the material does not change, the energy from the light is typically absorbed and converted into heat within the material.
The energy change that occurs in a light bulb is primarily the conversion of electrical energy into light and heat energy. When the electrical current flows through the filament in the bulb, it generates heat which causes the filament to glow and emit light. This process involves a transformation of energy from one form (electrical) to another (light/heat).
The energy from a lit light bulb is mainly transformed into heat and light. The electrical energy from the power source is converted to light energy and a smaller amount of heat energy, which is emitted as infrared radiation.
Light, heat, sometimes small amounts of sound.
Light to heat and chemical energy in plant's biomass
The change in potential energy of a single electron as it moves through the light bulb is converted into light and heat energy.
Heat absorption is a physical change. It can cause a change in state and/or a temperature increase, but the matter that is absorbing the heat does not change. It retains all of its physical and chemical properties that it had before absorbing the heat.
When a light bulb is activated, electrical energy is converted into a lot of light and quite a bit of heat.
