We don't know, Black Zetsu wondered if it had something to do with his Rinnegan, but gave no further comment. Considering that Preta Path can absorb any Ninjutsu, his Susanoo blocking IT light could be as simple as applying a (lesser) version of it. Sasuke made it clear that its his Susanoo that blocks the light, not that he wouldn't be affected regardless.
