Stairway Lighting

Stairway Lighting – Quiet Safety. Subtle Drama.

Stair lighting is about more than brightness — it’s about feeling secure every step of the way. Whether you’re guiding sleepy kids down for a midnight drink or welcoming guests upstairs, our collection balances safety, beauty and spatial rhythm.

Why Stairway Lighting Matters More Than You Think

We don’t always notice great stair lighting — but we feel it.

The gentle glow guiding your feet at night. The subtle uplight tracing a floating tread. The quiet reassurance that says: this space is designed with care. 

At Best Buy Lighting, we’ve curated a collection of stairway lights that enhance both movement and mood. Whether you're lighting a narrow indoor stairwell or open outdoor steps, our lights bring together comfort, contrast, and quiet confidence.  

From recessed LED step lights to motion-triggered wall grazers, everything is designed to be both seen — and not seen.

Explore:

• Wall Lights – cast soft wash or vertical accents
• Sensor Lights – for hands-free visibility
• LED Downlights – discreet ceiling coverage for landings or wide stairs

Design Tips for Safe and Beautiful Stair Lighting

• Riser lights: Position discreet LEDs every 2–3 steps or beneath floating treads
• Wall sconces: Install at hip or eye level for both practical glow and dramatic accent
• Motion sensors: Ideal for night use, elderly accessibility, or homes with young children
• Warm colour temperatures (2700–3000K): Soften hard edges and avoid harsh contrast
• IP-rated fittings: Required for outdoor, basement, or wet-adjacent staircases (IP65+)

Light the Path. Shape the Experience.

A well-lit staircase is never just a safety feature.

It’s how a guest feels at ease when walking upstairs for the first time.

It’s how a child avoids fear at 3am.

It’s how modern homes reveal their structure — not just through materials, but through light. 

FAQs

Do I need IP-rated lights for indoor stairs?

Not always. But for bathrooms, basements or exterior stairs, IP65-rated lights are essential for moisture resistance. 

Can stair lighting be added after construction?

Yes. Options like wall-mounted sconces and surface LED strips can be installed without tearing into walls. 

Are stair lights dimmable or motion-activated?

Many are. Motion sensor fittings are perfect for low-traffic zones, and dimmable lights are ideal for managing brightness day-to-night. 

Can stair lights be a design feature?

Absolutely. Many homes now highlight stair treads with uplighting, or use wall grazers to create a sculptural feel.
