At the very minimum low ball its massively hyper-sonic/near ftl with down play.

Light travels 1 foot in a nano second hes roughly a foot from his box so he moves that distance before the lights turn off.

TL;DR the feat is unreliable due to the number of assumptions that need to be made.

Well, light travels a foot in about a nanosecond - so if you’re (say) 10 feet from the light - then 10 nanoseconds elapse between light leaving the lamp and it arriving at your eyes.
when you “switch on” the light - the electricity flows through the light switch to the light bulb at the speed of light…so if there is 20 feet of wiring between the switch and the light - then there will be a roughly 30 nanosecond delay between switching the switch and seeing the light. The speed of light in copper wires is slower than “The Speed Of Light” - so that adds a bit more time.
Its still relativistic at the low without assumptions.

You forgot about the cooling time of lighting filament (since this is a 10 year old comic the house likely uses the older style of filament lightbulbs) which takes anywhere from ten milliseconds to a full second, and as long as the filament is still glowing it emits light. This would lower the calculated speed significantly—to subsonic+ at best.
