Staircase lighting sets a unique scene

Anyone with a staircase in their home is often spoiled for choice when it comes to the ideal lighting for the stairwell. A combination of safety lighting and attractive design should be created to best combine lighting effect and protection against accidents. We explain the best way to set the scene for your stairwell luminaires.

Stairwell lighting literally "points the way" to help homeowners or guests find their way to the next floor or down to the basement. Even the eye is guided in the right direction.

Different types of lighting for the stairs

There are various ways to provide lighting in the stairwell. If you have a lot of space, you can use Representative pendant luminaires & Stairwell pendant luminaires (including twin or multi-flame) provide impressive lighting. Wall lights are also always an option for staircases and often merge directly from the corridor or hallway into the staircase area.

By the way, ceiling lamps or ceiling spotlights remain the classic solution for staircases, as well-planned ceiling lighting with spotlights provides targeted illumination and can be planned individually.

Indirect LED staircase lighting without classic luminaires

Indirect lighting of the stair tread can be achieved via LED strips and is a popular alternative to classic wall luminaires. Such LED strips should meet the latest standards. Inexpensive DIY store LED strips usually do not last long or the lighting effect is disappointing. There are now effective high-performance LED strips that are so bright that they even make additional lighting in the stairwell unnecessary.

The LED strips are either laid over a stair joint along the flight of stairs or milled into the wood underneath the steps. This is best done directly for you by the stair tread supplier.

You can do it yourself!

With a little manual skill, you can also do this yourself. A narrow cooling profile for LED strips is inserted into the milling of the stair tread and the LED strip is placed and connected in it.

Depending on the choice of routing width, size of the cooling profile and the LED strips used, you can influence the LED brightness. The great advantage of LED strips is certainly that they can be easily controlled or dimmed in terms of time and color using a wall switch, remote control, smartphone or tablet (via app).

Handrail lighting as an attractive lighting element in the stairwell

An illuminated handrail can also be used to great effect as a lighting element in the stairwell. Safety and design come together here too. An LED strip on the back of the handrail can be used to flexibly follow the course of the steps.

Connecting the luminaires for the staircase lighting

As beautiful as staircase lighting may be, it must of course be feasible in some way. A power connection at the beginning or end of the staircase is therefore essential. The (LED) staircase lighting is then routed to the power source as invisibly as possible via the wall attachment at the handrail or the staircase construction.
