A stair spotlight placed in the wall or in the step lights the surface of the tread, not the space in front.

People often go down looking at their feet, and a light point placed at eye level creates an unpleasant halo. Set low in the wall, tilted towards the floor, it becomes invisible from the steps and the staircase gains in readability. A dimmer helps to adjust this marking in the evening, see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spots-a-variateur\"\u003edimmable models\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarm or neutral light in a stairwell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stairwell calls for a warm light, around 2700 to 3000 K, and low intensity: the contrast with the surrounding darkness is enough to guide. A neutral, cooler tone suits a service staircase or a cellar better, where you want to see clearly rather than create an atmosphere. The important thing is to keep the same tone from the bottom up to the landing, in keeping with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spots-pour-couloir\"\u003ethe hallway lighting that extends the staircase\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"exterieur\"\u003eOutdoor stair light: how to withstand rain and frost?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the light must withstand rain, humidity and frost: check the material (treated metal, stainless steel), the IP protection rating stated on the product sheet and the waterproofing of the connection.

An outdoor stair light is fixed outside the walkway, aimed at the riser or the step nosing, and operated from the door. It lights the act of going down, it does not flood the path. A discreet wall model is better than a broad floodlight, which glares from the street and leaves areas of shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOutdoor stair spotlight: material and protection rating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree points to check on the product sheet: the material, the protection rating and the connection method. Treated metal or stainless steel withstands better than painted steel on a damp porch. The IP rating indicates resistance to water and dust, the higher it is, the more the light withstands direct exposure. The connection, finally, must stay sheltered.

Its double diffusion lights the flight and the ceiling at the same time, which gives an ambient light where the spotlight only provides marking. It frees the steps from any drilling, which makes it valuable in older buildings. It is placed away from the walkway so no shoulder brushes it, and high enough not to be in the line of sight. The most elaborate models are found in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spots-design\"\u003espotlights with elaborate design\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStairwell wall light: lighting without drilling the steps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a tall stairwell, one or two wall lights distributed over the height avoid the dark zone in the middle of the flight. The principle is simple: each wall light lights its portion, the light overlaps and the whole stays even. For a stone or concrete staircase, or steps too thin to take a recessed spotlight, it is often the only clean solution. The stairwell wall light pairs well with the lighting of a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/spots-pour-bureau\"\u003ewell-lit desk corner\u003c\/a\u003e when the landing serves a work room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"detecteur\"\u003eMotion-sensor stair light: useful or unnecessary?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sensor switches the staircase on when you pass, which avoids searching for the switch with your hands full and limits consumption: useful in a night hallway, a cellar or an outdoor staircase.

In these cases, the light comes on without a gesture and goes off on its own, which avoids leaving a staircase lit all night. In a family stairwell serving bedrooms, on the other hand, two switches, one at the bottom and one at the top, meet the need without extra electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMotion-sensor outdoor stair spotlight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the sensor is fully justified: it welcomes the visitor and lights the descent without manual control. It still needs the housing to withstand humidity, the sensor not to be masked by a plant and the range to stay limited so it does not trigger as cars pass. A model discreetly integrated into the wall is better than a visible block. The choice of a motion-sensor stair spotlight is mainly based on the material and the protection rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 id=\"installation\"\u003eHow to install a spotlight in a staircase without damaging the steps?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst mark the step line and the cable route, then drill at the centre of the step or at mid-calf height in the wall, keeping the beam aimed at the floor. Each point must remain accessible for maintenance and replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt what height should a stair spotlight be set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a wall or a stringer, a spotlight is placed low enough to light the step without glare, generally around the mid-calf of an adult, that is twenty to thirty centimetres above the step nosing. In a step, it is set at the centre of the surface, as close as possible to the tread. These markers are adjusted on site: test the axis from the top and from the bottom before fixing permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to power and control stair spotlights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is run through the thickness of the stringer, under the steps or in a wall chase, never surface-mounted in the walkway. The stair spotlight installation ends with the control: a switch at the bottom, one at the top, or a sensor that replaces both. The connection must remain accessible behind each point, otherwise replacing a module becomes a building site.

The beam is then adjusted towards the floor.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can a recessed wall spotlight be installed in an old staircase?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes, provided it is recessed into the wall or the skirting and not into the step: this preserves the stone, the old wood or steps that are too thin. Check the available thickness in the wall and access to the cable route.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Which light colour to choose for a staircase?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"You want a warm, low-intensity light, at the bottom as well as the top of the staircase: it guides the foot without creating an aggressive zone.

Using LED and, where appropriate, motion detection further limits the on-time without lighting the steps any less well.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Where to set a spotlight in a staircase to avoid glare?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The spotlight is set close to the wall or in the step, aimed at the surface to be lit and never at the person going down. An adjustable model allows the axis to be corrected after installation, once the staircase has been seen from the bottom and from the top.\"}}]}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"spot-led-encastrable-rond-a-bague-noire-alasamilo","title":"LED spotlight | Alasamilo","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe recessed LED spotlight for hallways lights the way without ever encroaching on the width of a narrow hallway: recessed into the ceiling slab, it disappears overhead and lets the light trace the path, with a round 10.2 cm housing in white aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose a recessed LED spotlight for hallways?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a \u003cstrong\u003erecessed LED spotlight for hallways\u003c\/strong\u003e means first of all gaining width: nothing protrudes from the ceiling.
