Stylish safety: the perfect staircase lighting for your home

Your staircase is more than just a functional element - it connects rooms and sets accents. But without the right lighting, they can quickly become a tripping hazard. With modern stair lights, you not only create safety, but also a stylish atmosphere. Discover how light can set the scene for your staircase and create a harmonious ambience!

Focus on safety

A well-lit staircase is essential to prevent accidents - especially in the evening or when there is little daylight. Stair lights offer you clear orientation without dazzling you. Particularly practical: lamps with integrated motion detectors that switch the lighting on automatically as soon as you step onto the stairs.

Set accents with light

Would you like to transform your staircase into a stylish highlight? Our stair lights not only offer you functional lighting, but also real eye-catchers for your home. Choose between elegant LED strips that can be discreetly integrated into the steps or wall spotlights that create targeted lighting accents. Pay attention to the arrangement and spacing of the step lights when positioning them to achieve the perfect result. Our versatile designs adapt to your personal style of living and give your home that certain something.

Arrangement of the lights

Do you want to avoid annoying shadows and glare? Then a lateral installation along the wall is a good choice to illuminate the steps evenly. Alternatively, the lights can be recessed directly into the steps. We will be happy to help you find the right solution!

Spacing and height

Select the spacing of the staircase lighting so that the entire staircase is evenly illuminated. Also install wall lights or step lights at a height that does not pose a tripping hazard and at the same time provides sufficient brightness. It is often sufficient to illuminate every other step to create a harmonious overall look.

Different types of stair lights

Would you like to make your staircase not only safer, but also more stylish? We offer you a wide range of options to show your staircase in the best light - whether it's a discreet wall light, targeted accent lighting or sophisticated recessed versions. Let us inspire you and discover the staircase light that perfectly suits your home!

Outdoor stair lights

Outdoor staircases require careful planning of your lighting. When making your selection, make sure you choose weatherproof and robust materials so that your lights can easily withstand rain, frost or strong sunlight. A protection rating of at least IP44 ensures that your lighting is reliably protected against splashing water and other weather influences. The more humid the environment, the higher the protection rating should be. Opt for models with motion detectors to make your time outdoors as comfortable as possible. Invest in durable products to benefit from long-term safety and aesthetics.

Indoor stair lights

Indoors, stair lights are much more than just a useful source of light - they give you the opportunity to set specific accents and create a cosy ambience. Would you prefer discreet lights integrated into the wall or a striking eye-catcher? Whether recessed or flexible as a movable spotlight: Give your staircase that little bit extra by combining functionality with modern design.

Flush-mounted stair lights

Flush-mounted lights offer the perfect solution for a minimalist design that blends seamlessly into your living environment. These discreet recessed luminaires are characterised by their simple elegance without cluttering the room. As they should already be integrated during the construction phase or during renovations, it is advisable to start planning at an early stage.

Staircase wall lights

Would you like to illuminate your staircase flexibly and individually? Staircase lights on the wall offer you the perfect solution - regardless of whether you are designing an old building or a new build. Choose from round spotlights, angular illuminated surfaces or filigree LED strips to perfectly emphasise the style of your room. With swivelling wall spotlights, you can easily adjust the beam of light to your personal requirements. Indirect lighting also creates a soft light that is easy on the eyes and subtly sets decorative accents in your living area.

Important aspects when buying stair lights

If you want to illuminate your staircase not only safely but also stylishly, it is essential to take a close look at the decisive criteria when purchasing. This will ensure that your new lights are both functional and a perfect match for the aesthetics of your home.

Light colour

The light colour has a major influence on the atmosphere in your stairwell. Do you want to create a cosy atmosphere? Then warm white light is just the thing. If a cooler atmosphere is more important to you, then choose lamps with neutral white or cool white light. The cooler the light colour, the better the visibility.

Brightness

Do you want to set light accents or illuminate the entire staircase area well? Whether you want subtle lighting accents for an atmospheric ambience or uniform lighting for maximum safety - choosing the right brightness for your staircase area depends entirely on your individual requirements and preferences. We recommend a brightness of 200 to 300 lumens per square metre to make steps and transitions clearly visible.

Energy efficiency

Would you like to save on electricity costs and do something for the environment at the same time? Then we recommend energy-efficient LED light sources. These are categorised in classes from A to G, with class A lights being particularly economical and long-lasting. Look for a good energy efficiency class before buying to reduce your running costs and benefit from a long service life. We will be happy to assist you with your selection so that you can find the optimum solution for your home.

Service life

LED stair lights have an impressively long life cycle of approx. 20,000-50,000 hours. This eliminates the need for frequent replacement and you benefit from low-maintenance lighting in the long term. In order to maximise these benefits, it is important to install them correctly and choose the right type of protection. We will be happy to advise you on the best choice for your staircase area.
