People approach staircases in two different ways. Some try to save as much space as possible, while others integrate it into the room as a tasteful piece of the house design. Whichever concept you prefer, never underestimate staircase lighting. Falling down the stairs due to poor lighting is just foolish.
It's necessary to have more lights
As was already mentioned, lighting should make walking on the staircase safe, particularly when going down. But it shouldn't be so bright it blinds you either. The stairs should be lit without the higher steps or your own body casting any shadows. It's clear that one light is not enough to illuminate the whole staircase. The number of necessary lights is based on the length of the staircase. It's crucial to have good light on the first step of each staircase section. The most suitable options for staircase lighting are wall lights and LED strips. If you often walk around the house at night, consider incorporating night lights.
Recently, people have been trying to save as much as possible on their energy bills, making LED wall lights more and more popular. Their benefits include low energy consumption, easy installation, high durability, and often even their small size.
Make your staircase colourful by using LED strips
Modern houses, where the staircase constitutes a decorative part of interior design, usually use LED strips. They manage to illuminate the staircase in its full length while maintaining a very low energy consumption. Additionally, you can change the light colour and intensity using a remote control. Another large benefit is their easy installation using a self-adhesive strip. You can purchase LED strips in various lengths and easily shorten them by cutting through the marked cutting points as needed. To use LED strips, you need a power supply with a transformer corresponding to the length of the LED strip. If the LED strip contains a transformer, you don't have to worry about anything. If the transformer is not included, you need to purchase it. The approximate wattage is 4.8 W per meter. For instance, a two-meter strip requires a wattage of 9.6 W. You can find plug-in transformers or electrical transformers in the LED accessories category at our online store.
