Genesis 1:15 Douay-Rheims

To shine in the firmament of heaven, and to give light upon the earth. And it was so done.

Ramban

1194–1270 Jewish

AND THEY SHALL BE FOR LIGHTS IN THE FIRMAMENT OF THE HEAVEN TO GIVE LIGHT UPON THE EARTH. He added here that their light should reach the earth since it is possible for the light to be seen in the heavens and perform all mentioned functions without lighting upon the earth. Hence He said that it be for lights in the firmament of the heaven, directed toward the earth and shining upon it.
