yeah the only way i can square it would be that they're making a distinction between the general "light" available on day 1 - and very well publicised - vs the more specific creation of the sun and moon and stars later on (day 3? maybe ) .
I'm guessing that god probably got bored of having to invoke the voice activated light switch each time , so by day 3, decided to subcontract the sun to do it.
Even if he did forget to do the lights again on day 2 there might have been some emergency grow lights set up that the authors of genesis thought might slow down the plot so skipped over - either way I'm sure the plants'd have been fine for a day.
