From the Wikipedia article on light:

Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye.

But also:

In physics, the term "light" may refer more broadly to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not.

So yeah, depends on your usage of the term “light”, but colloquially (and in this context), it’s referring to visible light.
