Question about lights

For those who answered my question yesterday about rule 5, thank you, and I'm hoping forum readers will indulge another question while I get to grips with air law.

Rule 48(2) says "An aircraft shall not depart from an aerodrome if there is a failure of any light which these Rules require to be displayed at night and the light cannot be immeditaely repaired or replaced."

My question: I interpret this to mean that an aircraft should be grounded even if the flight was a day-time flight with no possible night hours. But, I'm sure I've seen the tech log for my normal student training aircraft report things like wing strobes not working. Am I missing something?
