just for clarification.
The light was not created or made in verse 3, this tells us this light God calls for existed before the darkness John 5:1a may give us a clue to this light that is called for and not created. that light is not the same as the lights later created in vs 16.
When God calls for light, the light is coming from one direction. one side of the earth is lit while the other is still in darkness. hence night and day. later he places two lights to continue the night and day process once his light is removed.
interesting as you pull all the pieces of the Bible together you can see the Godhead in creation.
Not only that but things that are not revealed as being created during this time we are told in the New Teastament, Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (you will notice the singular heaven here)
from this we know, not everything that was created was recorded in Genesis chapter one. some things that were created were done some time before Genesis Vs 2
