Light is a pretty universal symbol of truth, knowledge, and understanding. It acts as a guide, keeping us from stumbling in the dark. So lighting a candle or lamp as part of a ceremony or function is likely to be done with this in mind, consciously or not.
If the function is related to religion or education (for instance), the symbolism is more obvious. But even in other settings, most groups would no doubt like to believe they are acting as some sort of guiding light, or that they're accurately seeing and addressing some need for humanity, etc.
