Light can be absorbed, and converted to heat.However, if a light-bulb heats up, it's to a great extent due to other effects - for example in the old-fashioned incandescent light-bulb, the electrical energy gets converted FIRST to heat energy; a small part of that heat energy then gets converted into visible light. In other types of light bulbs, the light bulbs get hot mainly because NOT all of the energy gets converted into visible light; part of it gets converted into heat.
