Question 1

At what height should hallway wall lights be placed?

Accepted Answer

They are usually installed between 150 and 180 cm from the floor. This height allows the light to be distributed well and prevents them from being too low. In narrow hallways, it is advisable to choose low-profile models so they do not interfere with movement.

Question 2

How many metres apart should they be placed?

Accepted Answer

As a reference, spacing of 2 to 3 metres usually works in domestic hallways. The distance can be reduced if the walls are dark or if the wall lights have low luminous flux. In short hallways, one or two well-placed points may be enough.

Question 3

How many lumens does a hallway wall light need?

Accepted Answer

For domestic use, between 300 and 700 lumens per wall light is usually sufficient. If several points are installed, it is preferable for the light to be moderate and uniform. In more functional passage areas, residential buildings or access points to staircases, it may be necessary to increase the lighting level.

Question 4

What colour temperature is best for hallways?

Accepted Answer

In homes, 2700K or 3000K provide warm and pleasant light. In more functional hallways, 4000K can provide greater clarity. It is advisable to maintain coherence with the connected rooms to avoid abrupt changes in atmosphere.

Question 5

Are wall lights or wall-integrated lights better?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the desired effect. Wall lights are more decorative and provide visual presence; wall-integrated lights are more discreet and work very well as orientation lighting. In many projects they can be combined: wall lights to create ambience and integrated lights to mark the route.

Question 6

What option should be chosen for hallways with stairs?

Accepted Answer

When the hallway connects with a staircase, visibility at the change in level should be reinforced. Wall lights, stair marker lights or recessed lights can be used. The priority is for the steps to be clearly visible and for the light not to cause glare when going up or down.
