Because no one should be afraid of the dark — not even at the end of the hallway.

Sun Down Stiks exists for one reason: to help the animals and people we love who get lost in the dark.

It starts with a feeling every caregiver knows. The graying dog who paces and whimpers at 2 a.m., bumping into the same corner every night. The parent whose eyes don’t work the way they used to once the sun goes down. The loved one who wakes disoriented and can’t find the path back to bed.

When the lights are off, the people and pets who need help most are the ones left navigating alone.

We looked for something made for them — and found only home-décor night lights and under-cabinet strips never designed for a frightened senior dog or someone with fading sight. So we made the light we wished existed.

What it does

A light that guides, then gets out of the way

A soft, motion-sensing light that quietly lights the path — then fades back into the dark so the whole house can sleep.

A warm, calming glow

3,500K warm white — no harsh brightness, no flipping switches on and off.

Motion-activated

The path lights as they move, then turns itself off after 15–30 seconds.

For pets and people

The same gentle light guides an old dog to bed and a grandparent down the hall.

Peel-and-stick or free-standing

Surface-safe adhesive for most walls (test first), or set it on the floor.

Rechargeable and effortless

A built-in battery and USB-C charging — no wiring, no wasted power.

Made to match your home

Black, walnut, or ash wood-tone in a clean, minimalist style.

Who we made it for

The ones who need the light most

Dogs in their senior years

Especially those with limited vision or the restless, disoriented nights that can come with canine cognitive changes (“sundowning”).

Families caring for aging loved ones

Parents and family members living with low vision or nighttime confusion.

Veterinary & eye-care professionals

A simple, comforting tool to recommend to the clients and patients who need it.

Anyone who wants calmer nights

A safer, gentler way to move through the house after dark.

Why it matters

A small light can do a surprisingly big thing

We believe the right light, in the right place, changes how a night feels for everyone in the home.

Keep the ones you love safer — fewer walks into furniture, fewer nights trapped in a dark corner.

Let pets and people move freely at night without waking the rest of the house.

Ease the worry of caregivers who lie awake wondering if their dog is anxious or lost in the dark.

Give senior dogs a more comfortable life — confident, easy nights in their golden years.
