Bobert, head down to Home Depot and buy a pack of those little dusk to dawn LED nightlights. You won't have to turn it on again, they last forever, and they use very little power. They're under $10. Or get a rope light (I got a 6' rope for about $7 at Lowes) and put it on a timer. I have the little lights in halls to help avoid tripping or walking into a closed door, and the rope light is arranged along the base of a step that at night could cause a fall or a stubbed toe. That is on a timer.
