Of course -lo- is a common suffix in Slavic, and *sve^tlo is related to *sve^tU 'light, brightness, the (visible) world', *svitati 'to dawn' and *sve^titi 'shine'. When you "come into the world", you "see the light of day".
 
May you see the light,

I agree here with *leuk and that  From this one could derive
the both words. But not that from "light" you derived "world".
That should be to naive I guess. For slavic: is "lo" in
ukrainian just a suffix or not?I mean is sviatlo a derivation
of sviat?
The same radical for both, with a simultan evolution of two
separated words is OK with me. I am wrong thinking that way?
