I wouldn't use any light if I was forced to get out of bed and walk through the house in anticipation of having to shoot someone. I can walk my entire house blindfolded, so I have a distinct advantage over someone who's entered for the first time. No sense in letting them know they're being stalked, and definitely no sense in lighting myself up and giving them any advantage.
There's a little bit of light entering my house through the front door window from a streetlight that will allow me to see shadows or silouettes. That's all I need. Hopefully the sound of me pumping the shotgun will be enough to send them out where they came in.
