The light source may have been from inside of God's temple in heaven.
Interesting idea. For the third "heaven" of the earth (2 Corinthians 12:2b) could be not far beyond both the earth's atmosphere (the first "heaven": Genesis 1:20b) and a small region of surrounding, outer space (the second "heaven": Deuteronomy 4:19). That is, the earth's third heaven, in a fourth, spiritual, spatial dimension, could be close enough to the earth that light sent down from the third heaven miraculously, and temporarily, by God could have lit up the earth as bright as day, three literal days before he created the sun (Genesis 1:14-19). Genesis 1:3-5 does not have to mean "Let light exist for the first time anywhere", but can simply mean "Let there be light on the earth".
