Light falls from the stairwell ceiling, grazes the risers, and each level stands out without having to search for the step with your foot. That is what a well-placed recessed stair light changes: it does not decorate the stairwell, it makes it usable. The model in the collection, round in white aluminium, is mounted on the ceiling or in the side wall, indoors only.

IP20 means indoor use, in a dry environment: stairwell, landing, hallway, entrance. An outdoor staircase, a terrace or a porch require a higher rating, designed for humidity and rain. These are two distinct families, and the spotlight in this collection remains in the first.

Keep the same colour temperature from the bottom of the flight to the landing to avoid breaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe light colour does not come from the spotlight but from the GU10 bulb installed in it. The spotlight itself provides the direction and shape of the beam. The choice of colour temperature is therefore made at the bulb stage, and it is better to keep the same one throughout the staircase, landing and hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight colour for living room and staircase: how do you stay consistent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA staircase open to the living room is visible from the sofa.
