Some people that nearly died are telling about a light, and people who are saved or have got salvation have seen the light. Is it the same light?

The light seen by people who almost die is an actual light (as I understand what I've read). They actually see a bright light.
Those people who are saved are said to have "seen the light" as in they got it, they understand. So this is not saying that they actually see a light with their eyes, they now realize what it means in their hearts.
Either way its a very good thing.

You have a couple things mixed up.
The idiom "to see the light" means to come into understanding. It is used in a general sense as well as in a religious sense. When some people say this, they mean that they have had an epiphany--they were blind (by ignorance) but now they say. Additionally, scripture calls Jesus the light, so they also incorporate the idea of seeing Jesus as part of the experience.
In near death experiences, some people have reported seeing a white light; some report the existence of a silver cord; and others have very frightening troublesome experiences. As well, near death experiences vary across cultures.
So basically, I think you that these are two different lights that you are speaking of.

ONLY IN NEAR DEATH SITUATIONS ~~ they see a light as the body is withdrawing away from life (the spirit is leaving)_. however, the LIGHT leaves as the body remains on earth and the person comes back to life...
i have never heard of it in "saving"situations.

There is only one light. The source of light, love, energy. The pure light and energy of our source creator, the process of life itself.

most people despite their religion , culture , difference report the same experiences when they have an NDE
the best evidence of this if given by an author called Dr Raymond moody if you can get a hold of one of his books on the subject its fascinating stuff

I think the light you see when coming back to life must be something like what your first thought is like. Imagine what going from thoughtless to thought must have been like. Don't you wish you could remember?

This white light jazz that one is supposed to follow is kind of weird.
It is positively NOT Christian -- so if given the chance, I would NOT follow it.

I am not sure to be honest I have never been near death. Maybe someone who has can answer your question. Good luck with your answers.
