Touching a bit on this post about turning on the lights.

Would it be advisable to turn on lights where THEY are and not where YOU are. Some house have the ability to turn on lights say from master bedroom. You can control the lights for every room in the house. If I was upstairs say, and the thug(s) are downstairs, would turning on the lights in the downstairs rooms prove to be an advantage? I'm of course making the assumption these are just crooks and not LEO's making say a raid.

Would remotely having the lights turn on be recommended as a deterrent? They're all in bright light now and would possibly act as a surprise and thwart them wanting to continue?

I hope this made sense to whoever could answer
