Light the stair treads
Give individual steps a measured line of concealed light.
Hallway, Staircase & Landing LED Lighting
A considered welcome, from hallway to landing.
Use subtle lines of light to bring out the shape of your entrance, staircase and landing. Start with the detail you want to illuminate.
A narrow hallway, an open stair and a generous landing each need a different approach. LED strip lighting can bring continuity between them, highlighting timber, wall finishes and architectural lines. Explore the application guides below, then shop strips or request a quote for the complete layout.

Plan the lighting position, mounting and complete system around the actual space and the way it is used.
Choose the line that suits your staircase
Under-tread light emphasises individual steps. A concealed handrail detail draws a continuous line through the stair, while skirting-level light follows the hallway. Select one leading feature before adding others so the entrance feels composed. Inspect the proposed positions from the foot of the stairs and from the landing, where exposed light sources can become more noticeable.
Plan the route before the finish
Measure every tread or straight section separately, including returns, landings and doorways. Mark cable crossings and an accessible position for the power supply before joinery or plastering starts. Separate control of the hall and stairs can make daily use simpler. If you want motion activation, specify the detection areas and desired operation when requesting your quote.
Bring the whole entrance into the brief
Send a staircase photo, a marked-up plan, individual run lengths and the available space for profiles and cables. Include the floor finish and your preferred controls. Decorative strip lighting does not replace required stair, safety or emergency lighting; have the overall lighting and electrical installation assessed for your setting.

Useful to knowYour questions,
Your questions,
considered.
Which hallway detail should I light first?
Start with the strongest architectural feature: the treads, handrail or a continuous wall edge. A short sample at the proposed position helps you judge brightness and visibility before committing to the full route.
Can the hallway and staircase work on separate controls?
Yes, with a suitably designed system. Identify which runs should switch or dim together so the power supplies, controllers and wiring can be specified around those zones.
Can I use motion sensors?
A compatible sensor arrangement can be considered. Share where people approach the stairs and how long you want the lighting to remain on; confirm sensor and control compatibility before ordering.
Is decorative strip lighting enough for stairs?
Do not rely on decorative strip alone to satisfy required stair, safety or emergency lighting. Keep those needs in the overall lighting plan and ask your installer to assess the installation.
