About StepGlow

StepGlow exists because confusing specs, inconsistent brightness, and poor placement too often turn ‘safety lighting’ into a tripping hazard—or an eyesore. We cut through marketing noise with hands-on testing, electrical best practices, and accessible writing—for homeowners, contractors, and curious DIYers who demand both function and finish.
