I wanted something to light up the room when I need to get up in the middle of the night with out it being to bright to make me fully alert. This is easy to install Dont put it right over your bed or it will light up very time you move but if you do its easy to move nd will restick to the surface with out problem Its motion sensitive and the level of light can be adjusted to full or dim. Would be good on stairs and hallways. It does a great job at a reasonable price.
