You're going to end up in a garuda hm that takes too long to enter, and you'll be paired with players who are too weak or inexperienced to do a quick kill. Maybe if your server has lots of people that want cosmetic relics, you can party finder it, but on my server that would be highly unlikely.

If it is something you really want to grind out, it takes 500 fates. Middle La Noscea is one of the best places to fate grind, because the fates are easily soloable by most classes. If you are still leveling to 60, you might want to try equipping your novus while fate grinding in churning mists, since all of those fates count as well. The ilevel 110 weapon isn't the best choice for those fates, but it isn't too unreasonable.

And no, google is not your friend for MANY aspects of FFXIV, since things change considerably over time. Most of the articles about light farm are from a time when lights was 1/4th the current rate, yet everyone was grouping to get it done.
OP dont listen to this. I just finished my light grind. Go to the light window page on reddit (the first google result with ff14 light) and start spamming the easy primals when the bonus windows open. As a healer I got instant queues and 4 minute garuda kills. Add a minute or two for other primals. As soon as that light window opens the df gets flooded with players that can easily carry any new people with little to no loss of time.
