As our parents or grandparents age, the home they love can quietly turn into a hazard zone.
Falls are one of the top reasons seniors end up in the hospital—and poor lighting plays a bigger role than most people realize.
The good news? A few smart lighting improvement can make a world of difference.
Let’s break down the five most common dangers inside and around the house—and how Redilight DaySafe can help prevent them before they happen
1. Cluttered Hallways: A Trip Just Waiting to Happen
Hallways aren’t just walkways—they’re often storage zones for shoes, bags, or that walker that wasn’t parked quite right.
In low light, it’s easy to miss these hazards.
Fix it fast:
Install Redilight DaySafe in hallways to give even, bright lighting powered by the sun. No more dark corners. No more guessing where your foot is landing.
2. Staircases Without Enough Light = Serious Risk
Here’s a stat that should make you pause:
Falls on stairs led to over 15,800 hospital visits in Australia in 2022–23, with older adults being the most affected.
Poor lighting means seniors can’t clearly see edges or steps—and one wrong step can change everything.
Here’s what works:
Mounting DaySafe lighting near staircases creates shadow-free visibility, day or night. No wiring. No ongoing costs. Just safer steps.
3. Dim Bathrooms = Slippery Danger Zones
Bathrooms are risky enough with wet tiles and awkward layouts. Add bad lighting, and it’s a recipe for a fall.
It’s harder to:
- Spot water spills
- Reach for grab bars
- Navigate in the middle of the night
Better solution:
Redilight DaySafe offers glare-free, soft light—perfect for visits when natural light is lacking. It’s safety, comfort, and independence rolled into one.
4. Dark Living Room Corners? Trip Central
You might not think about that dim corner behind the couch. But seniors with low vision or mobility issues do—every time they walk past.
Tables, rugs, toys, and cords can all hide in the shadows.
What to do:
Use Redilight’s solar-powered lights to create even light throughout living spaces, eliminating “blind spots” and making rooms feel more open and safe.
5. Unsafe Outdoor Entrances and Garden Paths
The most overlooked hazard? Outdoor steps and walkways.
These areas get tricky during dawn and dusk when the lighting drops—but visibility still matters.
Why it’s worth fixing:
Installing DaySafe lighting near entrances means seniors don’t need to rush inside or rely on someone else. It’s motion-free, maintenance-free, and just works.
Why Lighting = Safety + Independence
