Lighting for stairs

Stair Lighting for Indoor and Outdoor Staircases

Stair lighting is designed to illuminate staircases, landings, hallways, entrances, passageways and outdoor stairs around buildings. It is used in apartments, houses, commercial spaces, hotels, public buildings and outdoor areas where good orientation while walking is important.

This category is connected to the broader Outdoor Lighting category because it also includes lights for outdoor stairs, entrances, terraces and passageways around buildings. At the same time, it is also used for indoor staircases where discreet, low-level and directional lighting is required.

LED Stair Lights and Staircase Lighting Fixtures

LED stair lights are suitable for orientation lighting of stairs, edges, landings and hallways. LED lights for stairs, LED staircase lights and LED stair fixtures help improve visibility during evening or nighttime use.

For indoor staircases, stair lighting is often connected with hallway, entrance hall or gallery lighting. For a broader indoor lighting plan, the Indoor Lighting category is therefore also relevant.

Recessed and Wall Lights for Stairs

Recessed stair lights are suitable when the fixture needs to be installed into a wall, stair cladding or prepared opening next to the stairs. Recessed lights for stairs, recessed stair lighting fixtures and recessed wall lights for stairs provide a clean appearance without visually occupying the space.

When choosing a product, it is important to check the fixture dimensions, installation depth, shape, beam angle, connection method and prepared opening. A round recessed stair light, square recessed stair light or Ø60 model should be selected according to the technical installation conditions. For similar solutions, the Recessed Lights category is useful, while for standard wall installation, the Wall Lights category is also relevant.

Outdoor Stair Lights and IP Protection

Outdoor stair lights and lights for exterior stairs are suitable for entrances, terraces, outdoor corridors, garden stairs, stairs along facades and passageways around the house. For outdoor use, resistance to moisture, dust, rain and temperature changes is important.

An outdoor stair light with IP65 protection is suitable for more exposed locations where the fixture is installed near exterior stairs, facades or entrances. For more demanding outdoor conditions, the Waterproof Lights category is also worth comparing, as it focuses on higher protection against moisture and dust.

Sensor Lights and Orientation Lighting for Stairs

Sensor lights for stairs are useful where light is not needed continuously. A stair light with a sensor, PIR sensor stair light or stair light with a motion sensor switches on when movement is detected and is practical for hallways, entrances, outdoor staircases and passageways.

For additional automation, products from the Sensors and Detectors category are useful. Where longer linear lighting is desired along stairs, for example under a railing, along stair edges or inside a stair niche, LED Strips and Modules can also be a suitable addition.

Stair Lighting or Outdoor Wall Lights

Stair lighting is mainly intended for low-level, directional and orientation lighting of steps. If the goal is to illuminate the entire entrance, facade, exterior wall or terrace, Outdoor Wall Lights may be more suitable because they provide broader light coverage over a larger area.
