I think they might not want to turn off the lights totally or otherwise it would have been difficult to see people getting near too. But they should have turned off all lights as soon as the attack started.
The last fight in the film was quite ridiculous anyway. They expected the Bishop gang to be coming, and yet they engaged in what appeared to be a casual conversation outside the house where a couple of baddies could have sneaked close and killed both of them easily. Instead one guy fired a single shot as if to warn them, and after they had ducked to relative safety, the baddies began to fire what looked like full volleys from an Eighteenth Century battle.
Then instead of getting close to the house while seeking cover, the baddies advanced at walking pace to the house as a group in full view of the enemy - of course only to fall prey to the dynamite and those nasty jars with nails. Despite the overwhelming superiority in numbers, you won't advance like that - for the obviously reason that no one would want to take the first bullet.
