It does not directly require light,but it is dependent on the products of the light-dependent reactions.
$(2)$ Photophosphorylation is the process in which $ADP$ combines with inorganic phosphate $(\Pi)$ to form $ATP$ using the energy derived from light (photons) during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
