First let us understand the different parts that go to make up the light bulb shall we? The key component in a light bulb is the filament, this filament, ususually a thin piece of wire, is connected to two contact points. These points are then connected to the metal base of the bulb. When the bulb is attached to the light socket a circuit is then made. As the thin wire is part of the circuit it will have electicity passing through it when the power is switched on. The bulb glows because of the filament is thinner than that of the rest of the circuit. The filament gives off heat energy and begins to glow, this glowing we call light energy. You now have two forms of energy.
A light bulb can make heat and light.
To convert electric energy into light energy
A light bulb.
Heat.
Radiant (light) energy.
Energy transformed by the means of energy transformation.

The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.
