Am I wrong?

I assume that with the lights left on, lighting is still dimmer than normal. There will still shadowed corners and patches an intruder could hide in. Having a weapon light would let you better search them from a safe position.
An intruder could turn the lights off or kill the power to the house. Or, power grid could be interrupted by a storm or accident. Lights kept on all the time burn out their bulbs quicker. Having a weapon light means you still have light to see by. A weapon light is under your direct control. You decide when to use it and where to shine it. Having a weapon light (in addition to the lights left on in the house) is to your advantage.
A weapon light helps you in court. If you have to defend yourself and Mother Dint Donuffin sues you for shooting her precious baby breaking into your home and coming after you with the intent of doing bodily harm, they can't claim you couldn't even see what was going on.
