When someone tells me, " Today is a light day. " The first question I ask them is, " Why is today a light day? " If you are trying to build muscle, what purpose does training light provide? If your prupose for training is to build muscle and strength then training with anything other than maximum overload is counter-productive. If your purpose for training light is because you just don't feel up to training heavy, then that's fine. You just have to suck it up and reside to the fact that this workout will not produce any muscle tissue growth.
Every workout should be heavy. Every workout should be intense. Every workout should be brief but thorough. Each workout for each muscle group should be followed by a recuperation period that allows that muscle group to fully recuperated and then, should another all out balls to the wall heavy workout for that muscle group to be performed again.
Anytime you do an exercise, anytime you do a rep,anytime you do a set, anytime you wrap yours hands around a bar, it should be done for one purpose - to build muscle. Why else are you lifting weights?
