In several of the classes I've taken at Gunsite we've done night shooting in both the indoor and outdoor shoot-houses/simulators. We've always used handheld rather than weapon-mounted lights.
There aren't a lot of "secrets-of-the-ninja": (1) learn and practice the various way of using a flashlight and still use the off hand for support and recoil management; (2) use a lanyard on the flashlight so it can be released when your hand is needed for other purpose, like reloading; (3) turn the light on and off at appropriate times.
Once you learn the techniques it's a matter of practice to develop proficiency. Professional instruction can be a big help.
If your accuracy and speed are deteriorating too much shooting one handed, you need more work on shooting one handed.
