Lightburn is an game mechanic in Dead by Daylight unique to The Wraith and The Nurse.
It allows Survivors to use a Flashlight to burn them, effectively forcing them to momentarily stop using their ability.
Wraith
Shining a Flashlight on a cloaked Wraith will burn him, causing him to be stunned for several seconds and forcing him to uncloak in the process.
He screams when being burnt.
The Wraith can counter this by hiding behind an object when uncloaking or using the "Blind Warrior" range of Add-ons.
Nurse
Shining a Flashlight on a Nurse charging her blink will burn her, forcing her to blink prematurely which in turn will most likely result in her missing the post-blink lunge and then cause her fatigue. Giving the Survivor time to hide.
