Proper lighting on stairs increases the safety of walking on them and reduces the risk of accidents. It can also create an interesting visual effect.
The more, the better
When it comes to illuminating walkways, we should not limit ourselves. Both on the stairs and in the hallway and corridor, the lighting ofwhich we wroteabout here, the light should be a guide to help you reach your destination safely. Multi-level lighting is an ideal solution. Why? Because we have the ability to manage the light in different ways.
The best way to choose multi-level lighting
LED strip
First, we choose the light that will illuminate our steps. Here we have a choice of different solutions. We can recess the LED strip into the handrail or build it into the steps. It is best to use very high quality ones to avoid color difference, which is often the case, with cheaper versions. An 8-meter LED strip, after installation, can illuminate steps 3, 5 and 8 with a completely different color. This affects the comfort of anyone climbing the stairs.

Stepluminaires
The second solution is the staircase luminaires. Bet on products dedicated strictly to lighting walkways and stairs. The design of the luminaire and the components used in its construction allow for precise illumination of a specific place, such as a step, thus increasing our safety even on very long stairs.
Stair lighting can also be decorative
General lighting
The third type of lighting is general lighting, which is great for mundane activities such as cleaning. It is very useful during the day. All kinds of ceiling fixtures will work well here. Remember that the more precisely you specify where the light should fall, the better.

Color of light
With passageways, its color is not important. When choosing it, it is worth thinking about what materials we used to finish the illuminated space. When a cold shade of white is illuminated with warm light, it will become creamy. It is best to choose a color close to natural, because it is the most intuitive, for example, when we have a space that is difficult to illuminate such as a black hallway. The neutral color is also the most comfortable to the eye.
