Are night sights necessary?

Self-defense flashlights should have a minimum of 60 lumens, but twice that is a better place to start. This is enough brightness to search a building or temporarily blind an attacker. If 120 lumens are good, 240 should be better, and 480 should be great…and so on up the line, right?
Do you need night sights for home defense?
Night sights, however, come into their own in conditions of low light. Most defensive gun uses do happen in conditions of low light, however, not necessarily of no light. Even in low light there are many situations that rule the advantage of night sights null. This is where the confusion as to their use comes in.
