For there to be light, current must flow. You have not specified a circuit for current flow.

If you intended the conductors to be part of a current path, then any electric field between them is irrelevant. Further, a magnetic field perpendicular to the electric field would not "cut" the conductors (since the electric field would be at right angles to the conductors and therefore the magnetic field would parallel to the conductors). Therefore, no electricity would be generated.

If you intended for the magnet to somehow carry current, the magnet material would tend to "short circuit" the electric field. Thus to convert energy in the electric field to current, the magnet would have to "draw an arc" and collapse the electric field. The arc might considered light if it were big enough. After all, you can see static electricity sparks in a dark room. This would be no different.

You do not get light becuse magnetic field being
perpendicular to electric field is not yet enough to
have light. In additon both fields must ocsillate at
proper frequency, some 500,000,000,000,000 Hz.

If you beging rotating your magnet at thereabove
frequency, you''ll see a plenty of light.

You're not using a light bulb.

Magnets and conductors don't light up by themselves.

For the same reason you don't get water flowing. There's no source.

What would you get light from? Do you have a light source hooked up anywhere?

Why would you get light?
