Stairway Lighting

How to achieve stylish, safe stairway lighting

Lights installed by staircases act as a visual cue, and aid people from point A—top of the stairs—to point B—bottom of the stairs—or vice versa. However, keeping staircases properly lit is not only a safety feature for your home or commercial space; it is also a visual appeal. With proper lighting, the flight can be accented or highlighted to be the focal point of the space. Check out these great staircase lighting ideas and ways to achieve them.

Lighted Handrails are easy to accomplish with Stairway Lighting Fixtures

Lighted handrails are stylish and great nighttime support. This option allows illumination without having to individually retrofit lighting along the staircase.

Recessed Wall Fixtures make a wonderful accent

Recessed wall fixtures should be installed low on the wall to ensure illumination onto the floor or steps. They are also a great night light and can be installed down hallways! Keep in mind, fixtures should be installed on the wall where the handrail is located—the eye is drawn to light and therefore can focus immediately on the handrail for safety and support.

Stair Riser Step Lights

Installing step lights on stair risers are especially helpful for descending down stairs—creating contrast between one dark tread and another. They also add a nice accent to each step, creating a nice focal piece for a space.
