So think of binary as true or false. let's say we have two bulbs, if both are off, it means 0. If one is off and one is on, it is understood as 1 and if both are on, it can be understood as 2. So this means that with only two bits (or bulbs) you can show three values 0, 1 and 2. Binary language works with the same principle. And in computer science, we use 8 bit (or 8 bulbs) bundles representing 256 values.
