Lightning Wallet like Zap or LND uses a standard called AEZEED to encode master key into mnemonic phrases, while most Bitcoin wallets use the BIP-39 standard. So you can not import a lightning wallet's mnemonic phrases directly into a Bitcoin wallet.

In this video, we talked about how to extract master private key from the lighting wallet mnemonic phrases, and import that master key into a Bitcoin wallet like Electrum. This allows us to monitor the on-chain transactions of our lightning wallet from Electurm, as well as spending the on-chain balance of our lightning wallet directly.
