In brief
Good lighting makes edges and obstacles visible without glare. Prioritise even transitions, accessible switches and dependable operation before decorative features.
Review the home after dark
Walk every regular route and note shadows, reflections, delayed sensors and switches that cannot be reached safely. Include entrances, steps and outdoor paths.
Keep controls simple and resilient
Motion sensors should trigger early and stay on long enough. Smart lighting needs a usable manual fallback and predictable behaviour if internet or power fails.
Select for the task
Compare light distribution, glare control, colour contrast, ingress protection, installation and replacement availability. Lighting is one part of a broader falls review.
