Seems to me that the equation itself says it's wrong, or there is no such thing as a photon in light.
I prefer the latter of the two.

I agree; characterizing a photon as a particle is a poor choice. But it is ok to say a photon has a mass-equivalance of energy. Photons have wave functions, and personally I think even the photo-electric effect can be properly characterized as a wave, rather than particle function.
