What is best for self defense to use whe the sun goes down beside white light?

The best is probably going to be pano nods.

Nods seem cool and all but a tritium front sight and allowing your eyes to adjust to the darkness is better. JMHO but YMMV.


If it can fail it will fail when you need it.

Maybe, but still better than not having it at all.

Depends, do you want identify or detect threats? In the home or on your property? A good helmet mounted PVS-14 paired with an IR laser is an option or if you're looking to detect, get a good thermal. Major pros and cons to both. If it's a bump in the night inside your home or immediate perimeter, super strong white light all day. You have to remember, NVD's require training and just because you have it, doesn't make you super human. Someone with a white light and good tactics can defeat a noob with NV any day of the week. Try wearing nods at night and let me hit you with a white light ... could be useless unless you know what you're doing.

Thermal

I used to think a combination of both, but now thermal scopes ($4000-$5000) are so good, that you really don't need NV unless you need to go on a budget.

Night vision and budget don't go together
