Generally speaking, they both are correct.
Strictly speaking, they are a little different.
let me explain, first, "打" is action, "开" is state of things.
开灯:1.Describe the state of light, ok, the light is on. But when you write an article, you need use past tense.
Example: 灯开着(了)。
2.Imperative sentence. And in our daily life, we usually add modal particle at the end of sentence, and make the sentence more polite.
Example: 小明说:“这里好黑啊。”= it‘s too dark here.
小红说:“开灯吧。”
打开灯:Emphasis on action.
Example: 请打开灯。or 请把灯打开。
By the way, many things can use this word, 打开电视(TV), 打开冰箱(refrigerator), 打开箱子(box), 打开书本(book)…… and you also can say 翻开书本, “翻” is an action too, 翻 describes more detailedly than 打。
