Henrik,
I agree with all of the above especially with not staring down the beem of the landing light and concentrating on the runway stop markers. The following works for me although I must note that I am not an authority on the matter.
1 Normal approach using
PAPI or not as you require.
2 Once over the landing area or approaching it, continue to monitor the end of the runway while using your peripheral vision monitor the runway edge lights.
3 As the runway edge lights appear level with you elbow start the hold off and cut/reduce power as required. As the edge lights approach your shoulder,
flare the nose level to the runway stop end lights.
I find the above works very well and always gets the mains down first without to much of a thud.
I am just finishing my night rating but using this method allowed my to convert to landing at night almost instantly.
Hope that helps.
