nighttime/nightlight help needed

[neonalee]

I'm really not sure where to post this, but I was thinking maybe this is the age range most likely to use a night light?

My DSD is 12 and we are working through a host of emotional issues, one of which is fear of the dark.  I think if she had her way we'd have most of the lights on in the house all night.  We just moved to a house with a pretty open floor plan.  She wants the stairway lit up, I want to be able to sleep.  We need to keep our bedroom door open, she can't sleep with her door closed.  I thought maybe some kind of nightlight in the area would help.  I need to come to a compromise on this as it's really important to show her we care about this and to model compromise.

This is a pic of the area.  The door to the far left is the master bed, then the bath, the linen closet, then her room.  Can anyone help with suggestions?

Thanks!  It's funny - now that you say it, a nightlight in that socket right there is obvious but I didn't even think of it!  Yes, we tried the square LED ones in our old house and they were enough to FIND the bathroom, but not much else.  We left the stair light on every night (with a low watt flourescent bulb) but that was more enclosed and didn't light up everywhere else as well!

I think I'll put that LED one in her bath and a regular one in that socket.  Our laundry room is at the actual end of the stairs so we can leave a small light there as well.  She won't ever come down if we aren't down there, but it will make her feel better that we thought of it.

Thanks again!
