when a small amount of light finds its way somewhere

[alpacinou]

I want to express the idea that a small amount of light finds its way somewhere. Can I use "leak"?

Haley woke up in a dark room. A dim white light leaked from the hallway outside forming a strip under the door.

What other options do I have?

You can use "leak" but I'd change the order of the end of the sentence.

A sliver of white light leaked under the door from the hallway outside.

Can I add strip?

If it is dim, adding unnecessarily to it doesn't work.

Seeped is more natural.

As Ems says, the word order is somewhat odd. Seeped under the door would be better.
