All light in the heavens comes from the Lord, who is the sun there (AC 1053, 1521, 3195, 3341, 3636, 4415, 9548, 9684, 10809). Divine truth coming forth from the Lord is visible in the heavens as light (AC 3195, 3222, 5400, 8644, 9399, 9548, 9684). That light enlightens both the sight and the understanding of angels and spirits (AC 2776, 3138). The light also enlightens the understanding of people in the world (AC 1524, 3138, 3167, 4408, 6608, 8707, 9128 [9126 in original], 9399, 10569).
