I like how you people redefine everything to suit your needs. lol
I'm sorry BillyBob but these guys are right.
As Tausami pointed out, photons are made up of an electric and magnetic field osculating at right angles to each other. This gives us the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes light, radio waves, x-rays, microwaves, etc...
You seem stuck on an electromagnet. However that is based on the same principal.
As electricity flows it produces an electric field. As electrons move, the electric field changes. This change in the electric field causes a magnetic field to form perpendicular. This is why a wire coiled up causes a magnetic field: the electric field is constantly shifting. By wrapping it around an iron core, the metal atoms become magnetized. When this occurs all the atom's line up in the same arrangement so their magnetic fields all point the same way. As a result you have a strong magnet from a weaker magnetic force.
The opposite is also true. If you have a changing magnetic field over a conductive metal, you'll generate an electric field which translates to moving electrons. This is how electricity is generated.
All these things are connected. This is why if you stand next to your home's electrical box your cell or radio signal will decrease in quality: the magnetic field generated by the moving electrons in your electrical box is enough to disrupt the Electro-Magnetic waves.
So if radio and microwaves can be disrupted by an electromagnetic field, why not light?
