ᐅ Staircase Lighting – Which Options Would You Recommend?

Created on: 15 Nov 2018 10:22

Hello everyone,

I am currently marking all the electrical boxes and switches. Now I have reached the staircase and was wondering whether a standard 60mm (2.4 inches) electrical box for the lighting should be installed there or if something special is needed. I looked around online but didn’t find a clear answer. Either the lighting looks cheap or it is very expensive (over 100 euros per piece).

Do you have any recommendations for me? I am also open to some kind of downlight.

Thanks and best regards

Next to the staircase, there must be a solidly constructed and plastered wall (I assume 17.5 or 24cm (7 or 9.5 inches)) because the treads are fixed directly into the wall without risers or stringers.

We haven’t gone into this level of detail yet. In any case, this is probably not the best solution for spot drilling (costly). A groove should certainly only be as deep as the plaster to avoid perforating the hollow brick.

I’m curious to see how it turns out for you! So far, I think it looks great, which is exactly what I have in mind as well.

How thick will the plaster be? My groove is only about 7mm (0.3 inches) deep... I found aluminum strips that are only 7mm (0.3 inches) deep.

I have the Skoff Salsa lights in matte brass. They fit into 60mm (2.4 inches) flush-mounted junction boxes.

By the way, there are now also LED strips designed for direct 230V alternating current. This saves the bulky transformer if you don’t have a suitable space for it.

@KingSong: Have you finished your stair lighting yet? I would be very interested to see a photo of the result.

Regards,
Denis
