Phase 1 — get an appropriate light on your firearm, learn how to turn it on and off without pressing the trigger when you mean to just operate the light, and learn how to shoot with the light. Carry a hand held light, too.
Phase 2 — use the light as Gunsite teaches, which is to turn it on and leave it on, so as to turn darkness into light, so the bad guy or bad animal doesn’t use darkness against you, and to allow you to identify who is good and who is bad.
Phase 3 — use light and darkness as a tactical advantage, by only engaging the light selectively.
Phase 4 — use NVG technology so that you can operate in darkness.
