Low autumn sun shining directly onto flue?
EDIT:
I should have stated that if there are any 'genuine' issues with a boiler, that create this effect when firing - the boiler needs to be turned off and isolated immediately. DO NOT USE THE BOILER.
A GSR engineer will need to investigate.
Do not remove the cover of your boiler.
If you smell gas at any point, get out of the building and call the gas emergency helpline on 0800 111 999.
....and posting your query in the 'Plumbing and C/H" forum, may be more appropriate than "General Discussion".

No, it is not sun. I am in a apartment, no window in the kitchen and people there are 3 floors above me.

Should I leave it as it is.
How come it is on? Wasn't before.
Is it any hazard, risk, etc.?
The flue does go outside doesn't it?
The light is there to guide you to a better life, ignore Woody, he spent too much time watching Poltergeist.
I have no idea why it is so luminous though. It looks like a balanced flue. If were an issue, I would like to think that the differential pressure gauge in the boiler would have kicked in and prevented it from working- but I am not a plumber
Maybe Ideal boilers have an internal light to help there engineers, which like a fridge only comes on when you remove the front cover, but,
its been wired back to front so only comes on when the case is on.

You need to turn the boiler off and call a qualified registered engineer immediately. Seriously.
Do not use the boiler any further.
If its under warranty you may wish to call Ideal direct.
