Both views are valid. And your right, very illuminating.
For physicists.
For laymen, on the other hand, there's no need to think of light as a particle. It's much too confusing, and people start asking questions like "what makes light move". Unless someone has taken classical physics for a couple of years or a college level course on quantum mechanics, it's probably best to explain things classically.
