About LinkBacksGoogle says that Забегайте к нам на огонек!!
means
Run into us at the light.
That seems like a strange thing to say. Is this some kind of idiom?

That's an idiom indeed. You say that to tell someone they're welcome to drop in on you.
The etymology... Well, there was a custom way back in the day to put a burning candle on a window ledge. That was indicative of someone being at home, hence забегай на огонёк as an invitation to drop by.
I do not claim that my opinion is absolutely true.
If you've spotted any mistake in my English, please, correct it. I want to be aware of any mistakes to efficiently eliminate them before they become a habit.
