When an electron absorbs a photon is their a light discharge?

It appears you are thinking that photon and light are different. But they are same. When photon or light of a particular frequency is absorbed by an atom or by the electron of the atom, it jumps from lower energy state to higher energy state. So in this event no light discharge is there nor photon is emitted. How ever now the electron in the higher energy state may fall down to the any other or earlier lower energy state. This event is associated with emission of a photon or what you call light discharge of a characteristic frequency, which may be equal to the earlier absorbed frequency or may be less.
