Light is electromagnetic radiation. This energy can be converted into thermal energy when the light impinges on something. In that way, light can be considered "hot" because its electromagnetic energy can be converted into thermal energy. Need some examples? This is WikiAnswers, and we've got some for you. We feel the "warmth" of sunlight on our skin. That's because our skin absorbs some of the sun's light energy, and the receptors in our skin tell us its "warm" there. A gas laser (CO2) is used to cut metal plates. The many kilowatts of energy the high power ones pump out are absorbed by the metal and the metal is vaporized in an instant. There are many more examples that could be cited.

electricity to make light for us. We've never found a way to do that without generating
heat at the same time.
