I agree with Bob Jenkins here. Deciding when to end a game because of darkness is tough.
Keep in mind who is ahead. Yep, if the visitors are ahead, you know you'll have to play the bottom half of the inning (or "revert"). Reverting never makes anyone happy, especially if the visitors have taken the lead in the top half of the inning when you decide to end the game. If the home team is ahead, you MIGHT want to play the top half of the next inning BUT be aware if the visitors tie or take the lead then the home team will want to bat OR the score may revert. Reverting never makes anyone happy (see above).
Best advice? I have learned to end it sooner rather than later. I never think, "Maybe we can squeeze in three more outs". If we can't play the necessary inning(s) comfortably, then we can't start 'em.
