indoor and outdoor staircase lighting

Whether internal or external, the lighting of the stairs must be treated with particular care, first and foremost as a matter of safety. If the stairs are adequately lit, not only are possible falls prevented, but it becomes more pleasant and gives value to this part of our house, like the other rooms, not relegating it to a simple passage area. So let's see how to best light the stairs and which LED products to choose.

Internal staircase lighting with LEDs

When the internal staircases are illuminated with LEDs, it is possible to choose either ceiling lamps or elements placed on the wall: in the first case, there is a soft light, which expands throughout the room. In the second case, the lamps must be installed in each ramp, so as to illuminate the steps well. In any case, the light beam must be directed towards the steps. Alternatively, you can opt for adjustable LED fixtures, like the LED spotlights, so you can move the light beam as you like and avoid creating shaded areas along the steps. For some types of internal staircases, we recommend particular lighting: for example with a spiral staircase, it is good to adopt both a ceiling lamp and light spots along the route.

Internal staircase lighting with spotlights

The LED spotlights are very original solutions for internal stairs and allow for a safe and perfectly usable environment. The most common LED spotlights emit light of white color, to be chosen between warm white, natural and cold. Some of these models can be installed under the stairs: in this way, the light beam is directed on each step.

External staircase lighting with LEDs

To illuminate an external staircase, several factors must be considered in order to have a safe and functional structure. If the external staircase is particularly long, it is advisable to install a series of lamps that are not too far from each other: in fact, the light level of the environment necessary for safe use must be at least 5 lux. In addition, the wires must be routed along sturdy plastic channels, while the chosen LED lamps must be prepared for outdoor use and therefore resistant to humidity and atmospheric agents. It is therefore advisable to choose LED products with IP65 protection degree.
In order to save more, headlights with motion sensors could be used, so that the lighting is supplied when it is actually needed.

Lighting steps for internal and external stairs with strips and led profiles

To effectively illuminate both internal and external stairs it is possible to apply flexible led profiles and strips along the steps. In this way, the safety of the structure is absolutely guaranteed, as there is no risk of tripping up or down the stairs. You can also decide to darken the flexible strip by choosing a profile with an opaque or white cover or to adopt a more colorful solution by choosing RGB LED strips.
The step profiles are naturally resistant, walkable and non-slip, with the possibility of being mounted in an upward or downward direction, as in the case of the STEP led profile.
Another idea to illuminate internal steps and stairs is to use corner led profiles, as in the case of the 45 degree TRIO led profile, here is an application on wooden stairs.

Life of leds and how to increase their lives

Image
You have often read that the life of an LED lighting product is far superior to the more traditional systems. But what does it mean? What is the life of the LEDs? First of all, the duration of the LEDs is expressed in hours but the calculation must be contextualized in terms of years. We can say that the hours of operation are essentially the hours of darkness. The night hours, on average, are 12 daily and in one year the hours of darkness are in total 4380. Rounding up is possible to say that the operating hours are 4400 per year. If we think that LEDs, as we will see later, have a yield of 30,000 hours, it is possible to understand how much it is worth buying one of these devices. When buying a lamp, or LED spotlights, it is questionable how long they last. To ensure that these last for a long time, it is necessary to carry out a good maintenance. How to increase the life of the LEDs In this sense, it may be useful to use a motion or twilight sensor capable of startin...

Furthermore, if properly lit, it could also be more aesthetically pleasing and this is important, as it would attract more customers.

It is precisely for this reason that it is important to choose the right lights and study their positioning, in order to avoid wasting money and guarantee maximum yield. How to light up a store First of all, it is important to take care of the entrance to the store and the shop windows, so as to make it clear from afar that it is open and attract potential customers.
