well light can be light in weight, as well as illumination (both either in literal or metaphorical senses). It can be a verb or a noun....

Syntactically it may either stand alone or refer to goblin alone or goblin could relate to home or all may be linked... hmm..... I can't help thinking that the use of goblin is significant since other than in "the Hobbit" Orc is the more common term.
So I had wondered if it might be Gondolin since I have an anagram obsession and it contains the letters of goblin "light" of one letter... but all this thinking aloud (and realising it is home not city ...) has given another idea

Light goblin home- Aglarond? The glittering caves. Goblins live in caves cos most of them can't stand the light and Aglar means shining with light?
