Only if you hold it up in the air and drop it. While you are holding it there is stored potential energy. As you drop it kinetic energy is expended as it accelerates due to gravity.
There is an analogy that works since voltage is defined as a potential, you could say that when the bulb is turned on it expends this energy.

5 examples of transformation of energy?
TV- Electrical energy to light and sound energy Radio and stereo - Electrical energy to sound energy Fan- electrical energy to mechanical energy Toaster - Electrical energy to heat energy Light bulb- Electrical energy to Light energy Battery or cell - Chemical energy to electrical energy
What is the Function of light bulb in an electric circuit?
The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.
When you turn on a lamp and the light bulb becomes warm which energy conversion causes this heating of the light bulb?
Electrical energy absorbed by the lamp's filament produces thermal energy as well as light.
What does the light bulb do in a circuit?
Bulbs convert an electrical energy to produce light
What are the differences between a energy efficient light bulb and a regular light bulb?
Energy saving bulbs reduce electrical consumption by about 75%, reduce bulb changes by x10 to x50 times. The savings in electricity and their endurance more that compensates for the higher purchase price.
