A distinction is made between narrow corridors, locations, corridors, corridors with round ceilings and low corridors.


Although you don't spend as long as in a living room in a living room, in which the whole family usually gathers at the table, feeds together and exchanges, the hallway is definitely an important space. It combines spaces with each other and serves as Movement area.



The basic lighting of the hall.



It should be made fundamentally note that in a hallway as a guideline, a basic brightness of approximately 150 lumens per square meter should prevail.


If it really got too bright, you can optimally dimmable Luminaires that regulate the brightness and thus optimize the sensation for the eyes.


In addition to the Basic lighting there are other supporting light sources in most rooms such as





General tips for the even lighting of your entrance.

Narrow corridors become like this optically enlarged And look wider.


One can say that long corridors are best several Light sources need that appear at regular intervals. Here it enable Rail systems , with Power to save.


Such systems are particularly popular because they are over individual Spots have that you can turn and align as you like best.


In the hallway, the light as well as in any other living space should not be dazzled. The choice of Built -in Therefore is always a good idea.


In rooms with one suspended Ceiling can this particularly great spatial Accent Through their Beam angle generate. Alternatively, LED strips that you can attach to your mirror, pictures or along the wall can also help you.


The wall surfaces appear through the indirect Light of the LED strips lighter and thus work for humans wider.


The LED strips are often dimmable and thus create a particularly great ambience.


You can also as at night as Orientation light be used. Also wall covering lights that close to the ground are attached, can provide additional orientation at night.

How do I illuminate a particularly long hallway?



It also happens that you optically shorten want.


Since there is usually no daylight into this area of ​​the building, it is particularly important to attach the light sources cleverly.


By angular ceiling outer, for example the s.luce Prim ceiling beams , it succeeds in the room to integrate. Thus, the room looks visually shorter and more compact- this is achieved by the variety of lighter and darker Room zones.


The s.luce Prim ceiling spots are particularly suitable for this, since thanks to the 35 ° wide swivel area, they bring exactly where it is needed. The abundance of accessories and design options is indescribable, whether with 12V or 230V, halogen or LED, everything is possible.

How do I illuminate a particularly low hallway?



In low rooms we would always recommend working with indirect light.


Indirect light creates a particularly large one Reflectionthat enables the room to make the room visually brighter and larger. Since people always run along the light, it is recommended, for example, LED strips horizontal to attach along the whole hall.


The ceiling should always brighter When the walls are to stretch the walls up. By creating special soft and diffuse Light manages to illuminate the room pleasantly.


In addition, you can also work with wall lights to the Number the Light sources to increase.


Through s.luce Up and down wall lights, whose Wet angle is also adjustable, it is possible to convey to the eye that the ceilings optically stretched are.


You can also say in general that wall lights in a hallway are more on the right Wall should attach to the wall that is located on the right of one, emotionally more drawn feels.


The advantage of up and down wall lights is that light is broadcast particularly softly and glare -free because it is reflected by the walls.

Indirect light in corridors.



No matter whether LED strips, indirect wall lights or indirect Pendant lights - Indirect light is recommended in every room because it looks particularly soft and glare -free in the eyes of the people.


The s.luce ring or Hexa For example, pendant lights can be used centrally in very compact entrées. So that you are not disturbing in the field of vision, you should take around 200 cm above the Floor be attached.


The advantage of the s.luce Wrestling or the s.luce Hexa series is that you can create direct and indirect light through the lights. A light color of 2,700 to 3,300 Kelvin (warm white) is fundamentally recommended in all corridors.


Also the Wall and ceiling lights the s.luce Ring series or the s.luce Hexa series are ideal for your hallway. The brightness can also be regulated and individually voted.


Also particularly flat wall lights such as the s.luce Hive or s.luce Cloud Wall lights are perfect for the hallway. By special noble surfaces And the great light spectacle tie these lights well in the hallway as Eyecatcher Or suitable Decorative object a. These lights are particularly energy -efficient and powerful Surrounded by LEDs.


Due to the energy -efficient LED lighting, special futuristic, because more and more about the topic of the environment and the increase in electricity prices. 

Work with motion detectors.



Nowadays more and more people are taking up Motion detector back. Our s.luce Ixa Up and down wall lights are also equipped with motion detectors and are therefore perfect for the lighting in the hallway, as they ensure that they are available at night.


Reasons why they are a particularly practical solution:


1. Energy saving:

Motion detector Switch the light automatically when someone enters the room and switch it off again when nobody is in it. This reduces energy consumption and helps to save electricity costs.

The conclusion of the correct lighting in the corridor area.



In conclusion, it is important to illuminate the hallway correctly in order to create a safe and comfortable environment.
