More specifically radiation pressure, not all of it is visible light. Some quick searching turns up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pressure#Stellar_inte... and http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~george/ay20/Ay20-Lec7x.pdf

And, from the wikipedia article:
"In the Sun, radiation pressure is still quite small when compared to the gas pressure. In the heaviest non-degenerate stars, radiation pressure is the dominant pressure component"
