Lightning is a high current discharge where electrons are passed through the air to neutralize a charge imbalance between Earth's surface and clouds above. The electrons superheat and ionize the air, which makes more electrons available to carry current.
The flash occurs when those electrons start dropping back into their ground state orbitals, as the ionized plasma disspiates energy as light, and cools to a gas.
