Not quite. Remember that electrons are part particles and part waves.

Light is given off when an electron drops from one energy state to a lower one.

In answer to a different question, and may be the one you ask,

When light strikes a phosphor, the electrons in the phosphor absorb energy, and give it off some time later. This is Phosphorescence.
