I don't really subscribe to the notion that a light makes you an easier target. But having said that, I prefer either a handheld light or a weapon mounted light. No one knows my house in the dark like I do. Most of my maneuvering can be done in near-dark conditions. Then, when I need it, a handheld or weapon mounted light is easier to actuate momentarily.
I'm not saying your method isn't very convenient. I'm just not sure it's as practical as the other options.
