I guess it would depend on what kind of light you mean. I have lights on some of my tanks (with 56 gerbils, I have a lot of tanks, but not enough lights for all of them). What I have noticed is that the gerbils that are under the lights are easier to see and seem to be more illuminated. Okay, that is somewhat facetious.
I wouldn't put a gerbil really close to a light bulb any more than I would put my hand really close to a light bulb. I wouldn't want to risk touching something that may be hot. On the other hand, I have a heating light bulb (the red kind they sell for reptiles) that I keep as part of my "medicine cabinet". If I have a sick gerbil, I will attach it to the tank and point it at one corner of the tank and adjust it to about 80 degrees, but make sure that the gerbil can easily get to the other side of the tank where the temperature is ambient (i.e. regular room temperature). Another way to do this is to put a heating pad under one corner of the tank. I use a thermostat to cycle the lamp on and off to keep it a steady temperature.
So I guess the short answer is that if you put a gerbil directly under a light, and the light is putting off heat, and the heat is enough to burn your hand, it would likely be enough to burn your gerbil, so DON'T do it.
What else can I help you with?
