From a Kantian perspective I suppose you're right. We can never know the thing in itself, only our own light.
Ahh, but we also "are" something; "our own light" is part of us, not part of the external thing, but part of the selbst an sich, or some such Germanic construction.
We are always more than we can know about ourselves, but we still are ourselves, not a thing observed or constructed.
