Seems like the perfect spot to knock one off, or hurt you hand grabbing the ball on the post. Or are those too high to grab on to? Perhaps if not, replace ball with transparent plastic one with light in centre.
The balls at the top of the bedposts are almost 6' high, just about right for walking into head-first in the dark. (Hideous western-mountain-kitsch decor. We're gradually eliminating as much as possible. Some of the light fixtures look like they were fabbed by a blacksmith on acid.)
When the tritium starts to fade (half-life 14 years) maybe I'll try something else.

That button will be the off button on the electric grid. That glow is all the camp fires and candles.
