Heh - who said you needed runway lights? Get your missus to park down the end of the runway with her headlamps on. She can also check the runway for obstacles whilst you're carefully positioning yourself for your GPS approach.

Normal technique - round out with a bit of power, keeping your eye on the horizon. Won't work for Public Transport but that's not you is it?

Last time I did any VFR night flying I went into cloud. You can't see it coming so you don't expect it. Consequently I spent the next 5 minutes with about 20 degrees of bank on, going all over the place. Wasn't a problem but reminds you reality isn't always the same as practice.
