I've noticed with my Night landings that my landings at day improved a lot. But that didn't happen until a few months ago towards the end of the training for my commercial. Watch out for the clouds as well, harder to see at night. you can also buy one of those olive drab L-shaped flash lights from a surplus store. they have many different colored (coloured in the UK) lenses and are pretty inexpensive. Have spare batteries, and an extra flashlight. can't tell you how many times I misplaced my primary light and had to use my spare. Good luck, you'll : enjoy it, and probably say: "I can't wait till I start getting paid to do this." My dad told me to wait till I have to do a night approach in bad WX. Enjoy!
