The process whereby an activated receptor conveys information down the signaling pathway, resulting in a change in the function or state of a cell. The series of events in which a light stimulus (in the form of photons) is received and converted into a molecular signal. A change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons into a molecular signal. The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons from UV-A or blue light into a molecular signal; the UV-A, blue light range is defined as having a wavelength within the range of approximately 400-500 nm.
