We share how simple, low-cost lighting changes can prevent nighttime bathroom falls and make late-night trips calmer and safer. From motion-activated path lights to warm bulbs and dimmers, we explain what to place where and why it works for aging eyes.

• the real reason night falls happen is darkness, not clumsiness
• how aging eyes handle brightness changes and glare

• matching brightness levels across the whole route
• warm white bulbs at 2700–3000K to reduce glare
• dimmers for control and comfort at night
• backup emergency lights for power outages
• hydration confidence through safer lighting
• quick, no-remodel upgrades that work today
