After death, his light still shines brighter than the lights of those who are still with us...
I would rephrase it:
"After death, his light still shines/burns brighter than the lights of those who are still with us/who remain"
"After death, his light still shines/burns brighter than the lights of those who are still with us/who remain"

to leave the lights on when leaving is more than not to leave
I think that the suggestive meaning is clear through the simple words of the wonderful poem.
Also, the "to leave or not to leave" is reflecting еру "оставить – остаться"б I think.

Уходя, оставьте свет
В комнатушке обветшалой,
Не взирая на запрет
Правил противопожарных
...
У любви гарантий нет
Это очень грустно, братцы,
Уходя, оставить свет –
Это больше, чем остаться
This is not about death that much, but about love
Moreover, line 2 brings the image of lights left on in a time-worn room
Also, the "to leave or not to leave" is reflecting еру "оставить – остаться"б I think.
