It is your duty to shed light to darkness. Remember that saying that it is better to be a candle (light a candle) than to curse the darkness.
It is an old traditional greeting and goodbye, similar to "peace be with you " or "god be with you". Darkness will turn to light, or may light shine on us" "Find the light"

1802Scottish Rite Lux e tenebris Light out of darkness

It is also in the bible.
Ecclesiastes
And I saw that wisdom excelled folly, as much as light differeth from darkness.
Et vidi quia tantum praecederet sapientia stultitiam quantum differt lux tenebris

It sounds like the phrase might be "post tenebras lux", meaning "After darkness, light"; a popular Calvinist motto.
