Hall / corridor lighting

A safe, welcoming path through your home

Halls and corridors need modest but even light. Evenly spaced fittings avoid dark patches, and wall light lifts a narrow space.

How bright?

8

lumens per sq ft (range 5–10)

A typical 4 × 14 ft room needs about 450 lm.

What colour?

2700–3000K

Target 3000K

Quick tips

  • Don't over-light: 5–10 lumens per sq ft is plenty.
  • Light the walls to make a narrow hall feel wider.
  • Add a pendant or chandelier at the entrance for a strong first impression.

Layers

Three layers make a great room

01

Ambient light

Downlights or pendants every 5–6 ft down the centreline.

02

Task light

Wall lights at 5–5.5 ft add warmth and guide you.

03

Accent light

A floor-level strip makes a soft night-time guide path.
