The source has chemical and potential energy which when switched on transforms into a chemical reaction.  Potential energy is stored energy.  A wire which is part of a circuit carries the electrical energy to the bulb which is a form of light energy.  This completes the transformation of potential energy - chemical energy - electrical energy - light energy.
