We have a converted loft which is a bedroom and my 3.5 year old is soon moving up there but I have some concerns over the lighting. It currently has one pendant bulb in the middle of the ceiling and the light switch is out of a childs reach. There will be some other lighting up there, probably a lamp and some fairy light type things but I wonder about the stairs if she has to get up in the middle of the night - any suggestions?
I was thinking maybe led strips across the internal angle of each stair (in front of your toes when going up) but not sure how visible they would be going down? Maybe a light on the side walls ? Maybe a dim light in the stairwell itself above the door at the bottom of the stairs? Movement detector to turn on the main light (I assume turning over in bed probably wouldn't trigger a PIR?)
