Yes, light from a bulb travels at the same speed as sunlight, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 186,282 miles per second) in a vacuum. Both types of light are forms of electromagnetic radiation, and their speed is constant in a vacuum. However, when passing through different media, such as air or glass, the speed of light can be reduced, but the fundamental speed remains the same.
