Corridor and staircase lighting

Corridors and staircases – in office buildings, hotels and hospitals, department stores and schools – are primarily circulation areas. But they also make an architectural statement, underlining the prestige of the organization or institution. What is more, in hospitals, hotels and retirement homes, corridors perform an additional function as service areas and communication zones. So they should always have a calm and agreeable atmosphere.

Corridor lighting and staircase lighting facilitates orientation and provides security on all routes through the building. It also helps ensure that the building makes a positive impression on visitors: well-placed luminaires and varied lighting design lend structure to corridors, accentuate staircases and lift access points and give communication niches a comfortable atmosphere.(www.greendyled.com)
