Light

Light the path before the 3 a.m. bathroom trip.

★ Top pick Lighting the night path

Rechargeable Motion Sensor Night Lights, 8-Pack, 3000K Warm White, Magnetic Mount

A cheap, renter-friendly lighting layer you can place at the bedside, down the hall, and at the bathroom door in minutes. Warm 3000K light is dim enough to protect night vision and sleep, and motion activation means nothing has to be switched on by a groggy person at 3 a.m. Treat it as one part of a fall-prevention plan, not a fix for balance, strength, or medication issues.

Set-and-forget lighting

GE LED Night Light, Plug-in, Dusk to Dawn Sensor, Warm White, 4 Pack (46882)

This is the alternative to the rechargeable magnetic motion lights for anyone who would rather never think about the light again. Because it draws from the wall, it is always ready - there is no battery to run flat on the one night it matters. The trade-off is the opposite of the rechargeable pick: it needs a free outlet near the path, and being always-on at night (rather than motion-triggered) it is not stealable/portable. Lighting is one layer of fall prevention, not a cure - it does nothing for balance, strength, or medication side effects, so pair it with a proper fall-risk assessment.
