What does Balram remark about his chandeliers in "The Fourth Night"? Why is this significant?

Again, this imagery and the motif of the chandeliers ties in with the theme of darkness and light. Balram remarks that he is a man in “hiding” and that he finds a lot of humor in the fact that he’s supposed to be hidden, but is surrounded by light. There is the sense here that the darkness represents a perhaps paradoxical entwining of safety and corruption, and that the light represents a similarly paradoxical entwining of success and danger.
