Sensor night light fitted in your hallway or landing so you don't trip in the dark. Comes on automatically when you move, off after you've passed. Simple safety that makes a huge difference.
### The Middle-Of-The-Night Problem
You need the bathroom at 2am. It's **pitch black**. You either: - Fumble for light switch (can't find it half-asleep) - Put harsh ceiling light on (blinds you, wakes partner) - Risk it in the dark (trip hazard, dangerous on stairs)
None of these are good options, especially as you get older.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A sensor night light in the right place means you never fumble for switches or risk falling in the dark again.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Elderly relatives?** These are brilliant for preventing falls. Combine with grab rails and clear hallways for a properly safe night-time route. I can sort the whole package. **Pets triggering them?** Get lights with adjustable sensitivity or height-based sensors. Fitted high enough, they'll catch humans standing up but not cats on the floor. **Want them all linked?** Smart sensor lights can be set up so they all come on together when any one detects movement. Creates a lit route through the whole house.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sensor night light fit in Newton Abbot
Where's the best place to fit a sensor night light?
Hallways and landings are ideal - catches you moving from bedroom to bathroom. Low down on the wall (near skirting) works best - lights your path without being too bright. I can also fit them in bathrooms, near stairs, or by the bed.
Will it wake up my partner when I get up in the night?
Not if we position it right. Low-level sensor lights give just enough light to see where you're going without being bright enough to disturb sleep. Much better than turning on harsh ceiling lights at 2am.
Do these plug in or are they battery powered?
I fit both types. Plug-in ones are great if you've got a spare socket - never need batteries. Battery ones (usually USB rechargeable) are good where there's no socket nearby. I'll recommend what works best for your space.
How sensitive are they - will pets trigger them?
Most are adjustable. For hallways where pets roam, I set them to only trigger for larger movement (human-sized). In bedrooms where pets don't go, they can be more sensitive. Depends on your situation.
Can you fit several around the house?
Absolutely - that's quite common. Typically people want landing, stairs, bathroom approach, and maybe kitchen route. I'll advise on sensible placement for coverage without overlap.
