An often discussed subject.
My 2 cents is:
Always be very familiar with your equipment whatever it is.
Otherwise it's a hindrance and not an asset.
A light on a long gun - yes, but not on a handgun.
In one's own house, just turning on the lights and quickly finding good cover might be best.
No giving away of position and possibly confusing for the intruder.
If you're going to be roaming around the house looking for possible trouble, better be prepared for it.
It's an area of skill all its own.
