Personally; I would link it to precious items' reflection of light. Gold shines; diamond shines; comets shine; stars shine. So the common sense is that any precious thing shines.
So God must shine too. I recall reading a Hadith speaking about the myths of "Gaheleya" time; some people thought that God was made out of gold in ancient Arabia.
I do believe that God is "the light of heavens and earth" as mentioned in the Quran; but I don't trust that many humans sought to stress on this fact in their different religions. They simply followed the "example of Gaheleya time", and pictured their Gods as giants made out of shiny materials like gold. Apollo for example.
