Hello everyone,

we are currently planning the lighting design for the hallway on the upper floor using LED spotlights. At the moment, we are relying on our intuition to determine the correct number and placement of the LED spots. Our current plan is as follows. I would appreciate your opinions on whether we might have overlooked anything. Since we have a landing staircase to the upper floor, it is important to us that it is properly illuminated.

Attached is our floor plan of the hallway with the LED spots marked. Please feel free to provide honest feedback and suggestions for improvement.

The hallway is 3.26 m (10.7 ft) wide and 7.07 m (23.2 ft) long.

Thank you very much and best regards,
julianpe

The positioning is quite good. Now you just need to find the right light bulbs. These vary significantly in quality. Important factors are: uniformity of light distribution, glare tendency, brightness, beam angle, and color temperature. This determines whether the result will be good or bad.

Thank you for your assessment.
Which LED spotlights would you recommend?
What specifications in the datasheet should be given special attention?

I am considering whether the second section of the platform staircase receives enough light...

Uniformity and glare aren’t usually mentioned in data sheets, and it’s surprising how different lights from various manufacturers can look even when they have the same 3000K color temperature. It’s essential to check them out in person—not in a store with 1,000 lights all switched on at once.

For example, I was convinced by Luxvenum spotlights in the standard size, which we have in our bathroom. They provide very even and comfortable light and are reasonably priced. I’m really impressed by Ansorg—they come from the professional commercial lighting sector but also supply private projects. Their recessed downlights come in unique sizes. The quality of light is simply outstanding. The prices are on the higher side but still reasonable. We have them, among other places, in the entrance and the covered part of our terrace.

Nowadays, I would no longer rely on spotlights. Instead, I would choose flat LED fixtures. This also reduces the number of fixtures by half. The light distribution is more efficient, and the wiring effort is lower.

Can you name a manufacturer or model? I would be happy to take a look at them.
Thank you very much
