Hello forum,
my house under construction has a hallway that is 7 meters long (7m) (length of living room + stairs going up + WC). The electrician planned for 2 light fixtures. That seems too few to me.
I plan to illuminate the stairs indirectly with the hallway lighting. Turn on the light at the bottom, walk upstairs in the hallway light, and turn off the light at the top again.
Edit: the hallway has no windows and is about 150 centimeters wide (150cm) (a classic corridor).
How many light points should I plan for the hallway?

You could probably write a doctoral thesis about this, but to be honest, you can also do without it.
We only have one ceiling outlet and an expensive double spotlight – but we simply never turn it on, as we have three wall spotlights on the stairs (bottom, middle, top) that we use instead.
Turning the bottom on and the top off is called a two-way switch and should be included with the builder/general contractor for stairs.
For 7 meters (23 feet), I would divide it into three.

Just because you deal with the basics of light and lighting doesn’t mean it’s a doctoral thesis. Personally, due to the sometimes really unclear information available at the time, I just did a little research to get a better understanding for myself, and that should be doable for almost anyone who is otherwise asking questions like those in this thread. Of course, you could just install something randomly, but that can easily be completely wrong. It gets even more interesting when we talk about smart homes and the lights should be turned on and off automatically, but that wasn’t the question here.
