When read, the scroll of light either generates a permanent field of light or darkness (80% chance) or generates one monster (20% chance). The field is a 9-unit radius of field of light if blessed, a 5-unit radius field of light if uncursed, or a 5-unit radius field of darkness if cursed. The moster is yellow light if not cursed, or black light if cursed.
If confused, it always generates yellow or black light.
Up to the version 3.4.3, the scroll never generated a monster. If confused, it would produce a field of darkness regardless of the beatitude of the scroll - a 9-unit radius if the scroll was blessed, or a 5-unit radius if the scroll was uncursed or cursed.

UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, reading a scroll of light while confused has a different effect than reading a cursed scroll. If blessed or uncursed, it will summon 5-10 Yellow lights scattered throughout the level. If the scroll is cursed, it will instead summon up to 15 Black lights.
Strategy
While useful for lighting up a single room, a more efficient option is using a wand of light, spellbook of light, or a lamp, brass lantern or other light source. Therefore, this scroll is a good candidate for blanking.
