There are materials that absorb light and glow in the dark, but I don't think they have any practical use except on watch faces and possibly other instruments with dials.

Addition:

Materials which absorb light are used extensively on passenger aircraft for safety signage and warning signs such as fire exit signs, location of exits, location of safety equipment etc.

These signs charge up while there is light and when there is no light the signs are able to glow for 8 hours, providing readable signs in darkness, and lighting up pathways.

How is light energy stored?

Light energy is not stored in the traditional sense like electricity in a battery. Light can be converted into other forms of energy, such as chemical energy in plants during photosynthesis or electrical energy in solar panels. However, once the light source is removed, the energy dissipates.


Is light energy stored energy?

Light energy is not typically considered stored energy, as it is constantly in motion and travels at the speed of light. It is a form of kinetic energy that is produced by electromagnetic waves.
