Hello everyone,

During a discussion with the electrician, we decided on stair lighting using 1-watt LEDs. Four LEDs are planned for each staircase. The electrician suggested placing them at equal intervals.

We were on vacation for two weeks, and the electrician has already started the work. However, the spaces between the lights are not evenly distributed. He installed a socket for the LED every three stair steps, but because of the curved shape of the staircase, the distances vary. I have included images to illustrate the situation.

After consulting with the electrician, it is still possible to reposition the sockets at this stage. He mentioned, however, that if all LEDs are spaced equally, not every “full step” will be illuminated, which might look odd. I still believe that equal spacing would look better. The electrician suggested that we review the arrangement together on site and decide then. To be well prepared for this meeting, I have the following question:

Has anyone had similar experiences or the same issue and can offer good advice or recommendations on how to arrange the LEDs?

Best regards,
ConnyJash

It is particularly important, especially for a curved staircase, that the steps are evenly illuminated to prevent tripping. This means having consistent light beams on the tread surfaces.

Otherwise, just give it a try 🙂
Head to Tedi and buy some inexpensive LEDs.

Go to Tedi and buy some cheap LEDs.
And the right ones will then shine completely differently?!
So, it’s pointless…

I would also try it with a few LEDs.
But at the moment, I don't find it very appealing.
It looks too busy to me.
