This page is not complete enough; please help if you can.

Raiding at night can be either very difficult, or somewhat easy, depending on what you have, and how careful you are.

Have a decent melee weapon if you get a zombie too close for comfort, or use a silenced handgun of your choice if you prefer guns. Note, silenced. Any excess noise is liable to kill you by attracting the horde of zombies. Their eyesight is limited in the dark, but they can still hear just as well
A crowbar to pry open doors very quietly. Smashing doors or windows produces a lot of noise. Smashing windows is acceptable in the case of an emergency, but if you can, clean it out, so you don't get scratched on the outside.
Don't use a flashlight the whole time. They can see the light, and even though now you can see them, they can see you. Quickly turning on a flashlight and then off is acceptable, but still slightly dangerous.
Night vision trait/mutation helps greatly. Instead of being right next to that zombie brute or hulk, you can see them, and you have a chance to run away. This also helps when trying to find a house to raid.
