No, in this context, "in this light" is not an idiom. Here it literally means "in the light", or in the lighting of the room. This expression is often used in this way when the lighting of a room or the outdoors changes the appearance of something. Ex: My shirt is red but in this light, it looks orange. Ex: She looks very pretty in this light.
