Who it helps

This may help people who feel unsteady while walking or standing.

Check before buying

Fit one at the top and one at the bottom of the stairs so the first step is lit before you reach it. Screws hold better than the tape on stairs. A step light adds to, but doesn't replace, a proper stair light and switch at both ends and a sturdy handrail.
Check size and handle shape against what you can comfortably hold and use.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

It makes a task easier but won't suit every body or every home; what works for one person may not work for another.
