Why can't we get to it anyway? The point of this is that your mysterious godlight is apparently all-sustaining - there would be no need for a second "lightbulb".
Or does this magic light have a limited life or something? That would be the only other reason for me to have more than one lightbulb in my home (the first is that I have more than one room, a circumstance that would be erroneously risible in the Genesis scenario).
Thing is, though, we know where sunlight comes from, its nature and utility. All the justification we have to go on for this godlight stuff is one oblique reference in one mythological story. Where does it come from? What sustains it? What is its nature? Does it still exist? Can we test for it? Etc.
What part(s) of this do you want to cherrypick?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
