It bounces around the room for a few fractions of a second, and then goes back into the light bulb.
Sorry. :)))))))
Couldn't resist that one. :))))) LOL

The last rays generated by your light fixture before cutting off the power will travel away from it at 300.000km/sec. They do not leave the room, unless it's made out of glass, but get absorbed by the materials in the room.

from the fist law of thermodynaics enery is never distroyed, just converted. the light in the room is converted to heat. this light has minimal energy so u wont be able to feel the heat but thats basically where it goes. i think! but then again im not a physicist!

Light is a visable form of radiation.
And my guess is that the radiation is absorbed into unprotected material such as you, or any other material in your room.

light are small particles of light called photons. these have small amounts of energies, which can be calculated by "E=h(planck's constant)*f(frequency of light)" this energy is absorbed by the walls of your room.

light is not matter. So it disappears like how God disappears. And its because of the electric current is cut.
