TIPS FOR INGENIOUS LED HALLWAY LIGHTING TO WELCOME CREATIVITY

IDEAL ELEMENTS
FOR YOUR HALLWAY LIGHTING

Ideally, your lighting should include the following elements:

• Well thought-out general lighting makes sense to illuminate the hallway properly. Small recessed lights or track lights in the ceiling are ideal for long corridors: they should be distributed so that the hallway is evenly lit. In a square entrance, a single ceiling light is ideal for the hall. Depending on your personal style, this can be sleek modern spotlights or a dramatic crystal chandelier.
• A wall light provides additional light near coat hooks.
• The hallway does not always have to be completely lit. If you want to make it easier for guests to find their way around the house, or simply suggest someone is home, you can choose targeted accent lighting such as LED strips running along the skirting boards or individual downlights, for example.
• Functional lights with motion detectors are real energy-saving wonders. If someone enters the hallway, the lighting in the hall will automatically switch on and turn off again after a few minutes.
• Battery-powered lights are ideal for hallways with few or no power sockets. They can also be used as decoration in a cabinet.

ARRIVE HOME SAFELY
THANKS TO SMART LIGHTING FOR

LED lamps with motion detectors ensure your safety when you leave the house or come home in the dark. However, stairs are often forgotten. These too must be properly lit to reduce tripping hazards. And, as the name suggests, the SMART+ security solution is pretty clever: network your SMART+ hallway lighting via an app on your smartphone. If you are stuck in traffic on your way home, or decide last minute to go out with friends after work, you can activate the LED lighting in the hallway and other rooms via the app – and therefore appear to be at home.

CLEAR AND CONCISE
YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED7

What light intensity and temperature are best for hall lighting?

Neutral white (from 3,300 Kelvin) provides the brightness needed to get you going on dark winter mornings, and is suitable for ceiling lighting. The light intensity should be at least 100 lumens. For a winding staircase, 150 lumens are better so you can clearly see where you are going.

What type of lights do I use in a hallway?

LED is the head of the pack. Not only do LED lights work energy-efficient, they also have a particularly long life. You do not need to worry about replacing recessed lights and other bulbs for several years.
