Void, Solar, and Arc damage fills up the Light meter; Stasis and Strand damage fills up the Darkness meter; and Kinetic damage fills up both meters. Once both meters are full, players can activate Transcendence, which grants damage resistance, bonus weapon damage, and a grenade that utilizes both Light and Darkness damage type based on the class.
