Here's what I did a long time ago. I added small clearance lights inside of the fluorescent fixtures in the bathroom and toilet room. The bathroom light shines out into a central area, the toilet room light is enough to use in the middle of the night. I leave both on all night long, as the small bulbs take very little power. (Note that an LED version of a clearance light would take even less power to run)
Inside the light fixture is an amber clearance light. There is a sub-mini toggle switch for turning on the clearance light. I used pop-rivets to mount the clearance light. It did require disassembly of the light fixture by drilling rivets and replacing with new pop-rivets. Power for the new light is tapped from the existing light switch, which is on the fixture itself. (The same idea would work for other types of lights, depending on the size of the clearance light)
Here's a shot with both lights turned on:

It will stay on as long as there is motion. The light will go out 5 seconds after no motion is detected. Blue light is dark enough to keep my night vision. There is a light detection feature that allows for it to be on in the day and not activate. It can be set for use and forget it until departure.
The Night Owl is battery powered LED with a motion detector. A little pricey, two are <$50 and four are < $100. I plan to get a couple and put one outside over the entry door.
