According to the book the lights were snail shells filled with oil.

He is not 'Sheikh', but 'Sikh'. It is a religion in India and the members are known as Sikhs. Their name usually ends in 'Singh'.

For the sake of argument, one can add that this scene has reference to the Indian festival of light, Diwali, as it is called.
