To find the ratio of lights to tiles in Mr. Sneed's classroom, we need to compare the number of lights to the number of tiles.
There are 9 lights and 108 tiles.
The ratio of lights to tiles can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of lights}}{\text{Number of tiles}} = \frac{9}{108}
\]
Next, we simplify the fraction. Both 9 and 108 can be divided by 9:
\[
\frac{9 \div 9}{108 \div 9} = \frac{1}{12}
\]
Thus, the ratio of lights to tiles in Mr. Sneed's classroom is:
\[
\boxed{1:12}
\]
