Staircase lights

Stairwell lights

Staircase luminaires illuminate the staircase step by step and are therefore indispensable aids for risk-free ascents and descents. Safety is the top priority, so every staircase luminaire creates ideal lighting conditions to prevent your staircase from turning into a tripping hazard. We therefore recommend high-quality models that allow you to keep an eye on the architecture of your staircase at all times.

In our range, you will find a large selection from which you can choose your favourite model according to design and style. Each staircase light not only offers highly functional features, but also impresses with its artistic appearance.

Which staircase light is the right one?

When choosing the right staircase light, pay attention to the size of your staircase and consider the architectural design. Whether a straight staircase, spiral staircase, spiral staircase or another staircase shape - depending on the architecture, you will need several luminaires for the entire staircase lighting. The following types of lamps, for example, are suitable for this:

• Ceiling lamps: Ceiling lamps in the hallway distribute the light evenly and over a large area so that they illuminate the stairwell as bright lights right up to the last corner.
• Recessed spotlights: Recessed spotlights offer an additional safety benefit: they save space, especially in narrow corridors, and do not become a tripping hazard.
• Wall lights: A wall light for the hallway is the classic par excellence, as it hardly takes up any space and embellishes the entire hallway as a decorative element.

Tip: Can't decide between the different types of lamps? Then combine a wall light with a ceiling light on the first floor, for example, or use a recessed spotlight for the second floor. Whether upstairs or downstairs - our lighting experts can give you further individual tips for the right installation location for your lights if required

Stairwell lights with additional functions for greater safety

Whether in the early evening in the dark season or late in the evening on a warm summer night - when darkness falls, every selected light must effectively illuminate the entire stairwell. Height-adjustable models with a movable spotlight are particularly suitable for this, as they allow the lighting angle of the luminaire to be optimally adjusted. In addition, individual elements such as pictures and other wall decorations can be better emphasised, which instantly raises the atmosphere of the room to a new level.

For a safe walk through the stairwell, you should also pay attention to the luminosity of your model. With around 1,000 lumens, you will always be able to keep an overview, while the LED lamps prove to be energy-efficient all the time. Their advantages:

• Develop hardly any excessive heat
• Have a low fire hazard
• Significantly longer service life

Depending on the model, the light sources are protected by materials such as acrylic, glass, plastic etc.

The most beautiful staircase light for your home: a question of style

Whether for new or old buildings - our range includes staircase lights in both modern and retro styles. The modern style impresses above all with its minimalist design and slim profile, while the classic models inspire with ornate details and nostalgic elements. Chandeliers for the hallway in particular convey an antique flair, but should only be hung as ceiling lights on high ceilings, as is often the case in old buildings.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a stairwell lamp stay lit?

In residential buildings with several parties, the right lighting in the stairwell should burn for around three to five minutes. During this time, the residents on the top floor can also climb the stairs safely.

Which light is right for the stairwell?

As stairwell lighting is mainly switched on at dawn and dusk and at night, we recommend a warm white, glare-free light that is easy on the eyes and casts only soft shadows.

What versions of stairwell lights are available?

A staircase luminaire can be clear, matt, brushed, satinised or opal. The frosted luminaire, for example, creates a uniform and pleasant light without excessive shadows. A satinised model is also matt, but at the same time translucent and creates a diffuse, soft light.
