This is some great advice!
We have a one story house, all the doors at one end in the living areas, then all the bedrooms at the other end of a narrow hallway. Our bedroom is at the end with a clear view of all internal doorways in the house. The living room is at the western end and our bedroom is at the eastern end of the hallway. A small night-light in the living room would do good to cast shadows and silhouettes of any intruders, while minimizing the light cast on myself. The intruder's form would actually block most of the light from hitting my end of the hallway.
Then I can send my rottweiler mix down the hall after him.
