Is there a difference between a light client and lightning wallet/lightning node/lightning network?

Yeah; Lightning is a layer 2 network that uses the Blockchain for final settlement, while a "light client" is just an on-chain node/wallet that doesn't sync the entire Blockchain. Despite the names, they aren't actually related that much.
