The previous answerer is right on, it means "halo." I think it's funny that if you reverse the elements "Heilig" (holy or saintly), and "Schein" (shine, or appearance) you get "scheinheilig," which means "apparently holy," (as opposed to actually holy), a sort of hypocrisy.

The Holy Light.

Of course, it is not holy light.
It is 'halo', either like the one the saints wear in old pictures or metaphorically speaking.
Which only goes to show that babelfish et alia cannot betrusted, not even with single terms.
