Ever since the War World episode it has been clear that the Light are playing the Reach, who would suspect of something if Queen Bee had't throw an attempt to "stop" the heroes. The only negative they got here is that they re-empowered the heroes at the cost of leaving the Reach almost a non-factor, but don't give much of a fuck for still seeing the heroes as mere pawns.
At this point, my guess is that the Light's plan was to extract meta-gene technology from the Reach and also use them as bait to get the War World from Mongul while weakening them. With the War World and meta-gene technology, they can easily subjugate any alien species in the galaxy. "Rightfully" putting the Earth at the center of the cosmo, as Vandal Savage said. Since Savage will eventually outlive most his companions (Leaving Klarion and Ra's maybe), he gets to be in charge.
The only flaw I can see in their plan right now is that there will be a point where the heroes can no longer be their "pawns". They managed use them by directing them at "bigger" threats, like the Reach (Because if the heroes try to ignore, the whole world pays the price), but once they step up to assume control of the War World, the Team and Justice League will have a clear target to take down, and while they are easy to manipulate, they are not so easy to destroy.
Right now, I can't see what is the Light's "secret weapon" that can allow them to defeat the League and the Team so that they can assume control of the War World and not be took out or destroyed.
The best I can see is them managing to manipulate Black Beetle; empower their stronger henchmen (Push Match to Superman-level maybe); hire some intergalactic big hitters like Lobo and maybe take control of Despero and Mongul using Starro tech. And possibly hope the League's bit hitters don't come back in time.
