The idea that "low weight high reps" burns fat is..well...a huge myth. Lifting weights doesn't burn fat, it builds muscle. Low weight high reps will build your muscles stamina, and add a small amount of muscle. Naturally, the calories you burn while lifting any amount of weights could go towards losing fat if you were eating less then you were burning..however, doing lower reps with a higher intensity will burn more calories, and build muscle which will also burn more calories.
