Different mechanisms are possible, to convert electrical energy to light. For example, in an incandescent light bulb, this is the result of heat (the electrical energy is first converted to heat); while in a fluorescent light bulb, electrons in atoms are excited (i.e., raised to a higher energy level) due to the electrical current; when they fall back down to their base energy level, they emit light. Similarly, in a semiconductor (LED), light is also due to such excitations.
