Assuming you're not in an endless vacuum, the light will also become heat.
I think it's fair to separate it from the direct heat generation because if you look at second order effects like that, pretty much all of the energy ends up being radiated away as infrared in space.
Nice point! Would it be the same for sound that doesn't escape a room?
