A full MVNO is such who operates its own core network which includes interconnections with other operators and basicly only uses the radio access network (read "cell towers") of a "real" mobile network operator (MNO). A light MVNO in contrast does fully make use of an MNO's infrastructure and sells services under its own brand. They may operate their own billing system, customer care and sometimes even an own HLR, but all the switching occurs on the underlying MNO's infrastructure.
A full MVNO can theoretically switch its MNO partner and subscribers can keep their numbers, while a light MVNO is totally dependant on its MNO partner.
