I think shining the light may just be coincidental.
I would be looking at A. Cold start injector timer (the sensor) B. Cold start injector C. Wiring Wiring is prone to breakage, and i actually ran into a similar problem on my race car (1985 MR2) where it was a PITA to start when cold, but started first click when warm. I found the wiring for the cold start sensor was cut.

First is the light a drop light that puts out decent heat? could be cold solder joint on the ecu board. The light keeps it warm enough to have good contact. cold and it contracts leaving a bad connection at the joint. Honda civics/accords have the same issue but with the efi main relay.

I'm leaning along the lines of sloth! here, that the heat from the lamp may be compensating for a cold solder joint. However, it could be a corroded electrical connector anywhere that same area and the heat from the lamp is masking the issue.
IF you are finding it easier to start cold ONLY when you heat up the passenger side area, look for corroded connectors (may be caused by leakage from the heater core) in that area.
