Got a comment or idea? Send us a text.

We share practical bathroom lighting upgrades that help older adults see better, move safer, and feel more confident at home. From layered light to warm bulbs and motion night lights, we lay out simple steps that reduce falls without a remodel.

• aging eyes need two to three times more light
• layered overhead lighting reduces shadows
• side-lit vanity at eye level for even faces
• warm white bulbs at 2700K to 3000K for comfort
• fixtures with frosted diffusers cut glare
• motion night lights guide safe nighttime trips
• rocker and motion switches improve access
• wet-rated lighting for showers and tubs
• use contrast between walls and grab bars
• keep lighting levels consistent across rooms
