I would not go searching for an intruder. My house is totally dark at night and my bedroom door looks directly at the stairs. My kids room is down the hallway immediately to the right of my door.
Also i have a keypad deadbolt on my home that unarms the alarm, anyone with a right to be in my home has their own code and can shut off the alarm prior to entering. All of my lights are ran to a WiFi app so I can activate or kill lights at my digression from my phone if I have time. I plan to light up my downstairs like an damn stadium and leave the upstairs pitch black
My plan is to call 911, make sure they are not between me and my son and wait for the police to arrive.
If the dogs, the alarm and my yelling that "I am armed, the police are on the way and I will defend my family" doesn't deter them from coming up my stairs I hope 300 lumens at sub 20' will do so.
If not I will act appropriately.
