A brilliant spark of the Traveler's Light.
― In-game description
A Mote of Light is a type of currency that can be used to purchase items from The Speaker, Lord Saladin, and Xûr.
Once a Guardian reaches level 20, any experience earned goes to acquiring a Mote of Light. One Mote of Light requires 80,000 experience.[1] Motes can also be awarded randomly for completing Crucible matches, completing Vanguard Strikes, in loot chests, or in any type of engram.
