There may be a better way, but you could make a new geo object, merge the base mesh in, merge the instance objects in - they'll come in as single points - and use a Copy to Points to copy the base mesh to the "instance" points.

Starting with this:



Create a fresh geo object, merge in the mesh and instances (in the Obj Merge node you can use a wildcard to grab all your instances in one go - in your case it'd be /obj/Light01_instance*), and copy the one onto t'other:


When you're merging in the instance objects, make sure Transform is set to Into This Object, so the points' locations come in correctly:
