Think about this for a minute and you can figure it out. If something is hidden, and you bring it out where the light can fall on it and everybody can see it, it's not hidden anymore. The saying means to expose hidden secrets or information. It can be used in a situation where you are "in the dark" because you just don't know something, and you can bring the knowledge to light by thinking or reading your books. It can also be used when someone is keeping secrets.
