Wouldn't he have time to switch on the night sun if doing a auto to unknown area

If both engines were shut down, lighting the nightsun wouldn't be possible. The landing lights would be available, but the pilot has to reach up into the roof to select the Emergency Shed Bus to ON to use them.
Sasless: our nightsuns don't have an IR filter.
With regard to closing the engines down by using the manual throttles on the collective, the only time I would use those is on a normal shutdown after a FADEC problem, if they didn't shutdown in the normal way. To shut them down for a double engine off, just use the normal engine switches. The "gates" aren't a problem to move out of the way.
