Page 95 of the basic rules on the spell of LIGHT.

 

The enemy fails a dexterity saving throw and is exposed by light. What are the benefits of this? Is there a bonus to attack?

If you target an object held or worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or the object targeted sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

 

It confer no benefit or penalty in and of itself, but some creature with sensitivity to light could be affected by this for exemple.

Keeps them from hiding in the dark. Great rule IMO.

 

But what if you cast it on an invisible creature's weapon?   <head explodes>

The invisible creature's weapon would not be visible, so you cannot target it. Even if you could, Invisibility already makes sure your mind is fooled into believing the light bouncing off of the creature is not being received by your eyes, so it would simply do the same for the Light spell.

Ah yes, Light is a touch attack. Ignore the targetting concerns, then. Personally I'd make you hit a random piece of gear on the creature with a touch attack, but aye.
