Light itself does not give off heat. Light only gives off heat when it strikes another object. Some of the light's energy can be absorbed by the object. This in turn causes an increase in the vibrational speed of the molecule, which leads to a sort of molecular friction, causing the object to heat up.

Because of photons present in the light which have no mass the light we see is bright in nature but in other lights like in UV Rays no photons are found so we can`t see it but the visible light septrum we can able to see as it contain PHOTONS

A lightbulb shines because electricity passes through a filament, making the filament hot. When anything gets hot enough it will emit visible light. Cooler things emit invisible light in infrared wavelengths.

In most cases the light you see is carbon, although various gasses also glow in colors. But be careful, some flames (like hydrogen) are invisible--which is dangerous if you work near it.
