Shape of the pendant lights
- Round staircase pendant lights: These are the most frequently used pendant luminaires in stairwells, as there are simply more round pendant luminaires than angular pendant luminaires. If you have a spiral staircase or a spiral staircase, the staircase luminaire can specifically take up the shape of the staircase. However, this type of luminaire can also be easily integrated into quarter-spiral, half-spiral or landing staircases.
- Angular staircase lamps: Do you have more angular than round furnishing elements in the building anyway or would you like to emphasize an angular furnishing language?
- Organic stairwell lights: Very modern stairwell luminaires, which are intended to create a virtuoso lighting design in the stairwell, can also consist of light tubes or organic designs in which no clear form is discernible. A good example of this is the Enterprise series from the manufacturer Next.
Size of the lights
The size of the respective modern staircase pendant light naturally depends on the size of the staircase. If the luminaire is to be placed in an eye of the staircase, it should of course not get in the way of you and your guests going up the stairs.
Also look for a pendant light combination that fits exactly into the stairwell.
However, the size of the individual light is not always important. You can either place individual large lights such as glass spheres with a diameter of 50 cm or large s.luce rings with a diameter of 120 or 150 cm, or even the s.luce Made series with rings up to 230 cm in diameter, or you can combine many small lights to create a large composition.

Good lighting ensures safety, prevents tripping hazards and creates an inviting atmosphere. A stylish pendant light can also enhance the design of the staircase.

The optimum height depends on the room height. In open stairwells with high ceilings, multi-level pendant luminaires are ideal. They should be positioned so that they do not block out the passageway behind them.
