Alternative.

Small divers light with Magnetic sw.

Push/slide ON. Pull back slide OFF.
I have a dual Head double battery one for yrs. easy as.
they do sell single cell ones.

Also.
I bought ($10 for 2 del)some cheap lights with magnetic back,
Plus sticky strips and screw holes. no name.
2 x LED’s and AAA Battery’s. Rocker sw in middle of front.
Just slide finger across it. ON. Slide Back- OFF.
One on wall beside bed head.
one on side of Microwave in kitchen.
one on wall as you walk down the stairs.
Over 10 months now still on original battery’s.
They look like a double wall sw with Slide sw in centre
with a strip LED both sides of.
I tend to use them a lot over house lights.
Look in cheap shops.

Another way.
Cheap “motion Sensor” Wall mount lights”, Stick ons.

Stick ’em round house where she tends to wander.
Kitchen. hall. tut. etc.
She moves. THEY light up.

Another way. (I did for mates mum coupla yrs ago,
she 94)
coupla 5 m strip lights, cut Lengths to suit.
Along Skirt boards on same routes.
plugged into wall. Motion sensor to side of HER bed.
She gets up. Airplane walking lights but brighter.
Wherever she likely to walk. NO need to mess with torches.
set timer to longest.

It’s fun doing these things, Plus.
the look on her face the first time she gets offf the bed in the dark
Is magic.
Just stick ’em on the skirt or halfway up the walls.
OR above round the ceiling line.
NO Torches. NO Battery’s. full lighting.
Maybe $30/$40 and some time.

ME. Prostate done twice. tut call every hr on the hr. ALL night.
EVERY night.
Have plenty of practice of differing lighting scenarios.

I have installed a SMALL single, sensor LED wall light
in madam’s bedroom. High on wall at head end of bed,
behind her vision line.
Madam sits up in bed. light goes on. set for 1 minute.
Just wave an arm above head. light comes back/on.
Roll round bed. NADA. = Settings.
She loves it too. A NON torch person.
I Have coupla filter screens stuck over head to dull light down to suit.

There are lots of fun things you can do.
Figure out which SHE prefers. A torch is a basic start point only.
AND do it with a smile.
Just think back to what SHE did for you when you were young.

Without her. YOU wouldn’t even be here.
Lot’s forget that little item.
