I just took a class on this last week! It was quite good. As good as it can be in a range, standing in stalls anyway. The first half was low-light shooting, in different lighting conditions (backlit, front lit, side lit, etc.). The second half focused on holding a flashlight and acquiring the target. We were taught to hold the light in the support hand, and to press the backs of the hands together for stability. This adds stability to the shooting, but also means you don't actually aim the gun and light at the same time until you've decided that something is a threat.
I could see that this method *could* lead someone to react a second too late. But "leading with the light" (such as a weapon-mounted light) could lead someone to react a second too early and shoot something they shouldn't. I'd err on the side of restraint, I think.
So yeah, the training was pretty good! I can also practice this at home in the dark with a flashlight and my laser trainer.
