Stunning the bad guy with a suddenly bright light might very well work and be an exellent tactic. If one's bedroom is not included in the bright light pattern then no need to close one's eyes. The question is would most people wire their houses this way?

LOL! My husband is unreeling the 300' of 14 gauge wire even as we speak . . . . (g) not really, but he's interested in the idea. Unfortunately, he is 6'6" so guess who gets to run the wire? I already had to inch through an 18" crawlspace to run the wire for the LAN . . . and I don't like mud, spiders, or crickets. :-(

Yeah you're right. Nobody's going to wire an entire house for that.

Just thinking about it, you could probably replace manual switches with X10 switches and do this with no real rewiring, just device replacement. And, you could get a key fob remote control that you keep on lanyard attached to the grip of your bedside personal defense firearm.
