No worries.  The "light" tends to end a sentence, and is followed by ha-ha, e.g. 

"Switch on the light, ha ha ha"
" was blinded by the light, Ha Ha."


The "light" is not part of the same constituent as the "ha ha" in any of the cases I looked at.  
It's not exactly like "brew-ha-ha", whether used as an eggcorn or a pun.
