Ceiling lights for the hallway
Bright corridor lighting on the ceilingBright lighting of 100-150 lumens per m² is important for bright corridors where you can easily find your way around and carry out any activity from putting on shoes to choosing the right evening wear. Ceiling lights or multi-flame ceiling spotlights are usually used in the hallway, where the light can be distributed evenly. LED panels](https://c_23) are also very popular due to their large, homogeneous light distribution and, last but not least, their flat, discreet design, which makes the hallway appear larger.

Spotlights for the hallway
Stylish lighting solution for accentuation or general lightingDepending on quantity and placement, recessed spotlights can be used to accentuate or for general lighting. They are installed in a suspended ceiling. Once installed, the space-saving recessed luminaires prove to be an aesthetic type of lighting, even for small corridors, which appear larger thanks to the space-saving lighting solution.

Table lamps for the hallway
Upgrade for more light and comfortChests of drawers, window sills or shelves often require additional light, for example because you place your keys or important documents on them. In addition to their practical use, table lamps in the hallway are also an excellent way to make pieces of furniture and niches look even more beautiful with an appealing, luminous design. Table lamps only need one socket for this upgrade in comfort. If you don't have one in the hallway, use a table lamp with rechargeable battery.

Additional functions that you will never want to do without againSpace in the hallway is limited - so why not combine the function of a light with that of a shelf, a storage compartment or a coat rack? Luminous all-rounders are more than just light sources. They are everyday aids, e.g. if you always keep your wallet, keys or cell phone in exactly the same place - and even charge the latter thanks to the USB charging function.
More ideas for hallway lighting

Whether entering the hallway with full shopping bags or walking through at night: You don't always want to feel for the light switch in the hallway first. Motion detectors are an automated solution that reliably switch the light on when it is needed. Another popular solution for corridors are socket lamps and nightlights, which can easily improve orientation at night. These small orientation aids are particularly useful in households with children and older people, as well as in stairwells.
)
Indirect light does not shine directly into the room, but is first reflected by the walls or ceiling. This makes the room lighting appear soft and effective. LED strips that can be installed behind furniture, in the corners of suspended ceilings or behind a wall mirror or stair railing are very popular for this purpose. LED strips are usually simply glued on and cut to the exact size required. Color-changing Stripes or those with smart home networking are also available.
)
Long corridors require several light sources at regular intervals. In corridors with angles, each section must be illuminated separately. As it is often not possible or desirable to create an unlimited number of power connections in private households, rail systems or cable systems are advisable. These enable individual lighting solutions with just one power connection. The individual spotlights, pendant luminaires or panels attached to the system can be aligned and the system can be extended at any time.

Large rooms and corridors offer numerous opportunities to fill the available space with eye-catching lighting objects that match the interior design style and personal taste of the occupants.

The chandelier is also available in numerous styles and shapes.
Smart corridor lighting

Smart homes have long since conquered the four walls and the outdoors. In the hallway, smart lighting offers the option of individualizing the light at any time according to your own wishes or the situation, dimming it in the simplest way, completely automating it and controlling it via a smartphone as well as via networked, wired motion detectors, for example. Without any complicated new installation, smart lighting today often starts with a smart home light source, which is screwed into the existing hallway light on the ceiling, for example.
