There are some phrases in the suttas where it is said "be your own island".
The word for "island" is "dvipa" in Sanskrit, meanwhile "dipa" means "light" or "lamp" in Sanskrit. However, in Pali, "dipa" means both "island" and "light" / "lamp". Due to this, it is quite common for the phrase to be mistaken as "be your own light", especially among speakers of Indian languages.
Why does the sutta say "be your own island" instead of "be your own light"?
What is the significance of "be your own island"?
From SN 22.43 (translated by Bhikkhu Sujato):
“Mendicants, be your own island, your own refuge, with no other
refuge. Let the teaching be your island and your refuge, with no other
refuge.
Attadīpā, bhikkhave, viharatha attasaraṇā anaññasaraṇā, dhammadīpā
dhammasaraṇā anaññasaraṇā.
From this footnote by Maurice O'Connell Walshe:
Atta-diipaa. Diipa means both "island" (Sanskrit dviipa) and "lamp" (Sanskrit diipa), but the meaning "island" is
well-established here. The "self" referred to is of course the
unmetaphysical pronoun "oneself"

If you are on an island there is no other help. Likewise one or the dharma is one's own refuge.
The key here is the lack of other help.
You can have many lights illuminating, hence does not resonate that this is the only rescue.

In Northern Canon there is an Agama that talks about the lamp:
It was a dark night, raining lightly, with flashes of lightning. The Buddha said to Ananda: "You can come out with the umbrella over the lamp." Ananda listened, and walked behind the Buddha, with an umbrella over the lamp. When they reached a place, the Buddha smiled. Ananda said: "The Buddha doesn’t smile without a reason. What brings the smile today?" The Buddha said: "That’s right! That’s right! The Buddha doesn’t smile without a reason. Now you are following me with an umbrella over a lamp. I look around, and see everyone doing the same thing."
The idea is that each of us already have our own lamp, our basic sanity aka Buddha Nature. And yet, we all follow the Buddha and want him to show us the way.
Instead, the Buddha says, be your own lamp, use the light which you already have. As he says in Kalama Sutta - think, what actions bring what results. See for yourself.
