What are LED Stairwell Lights?

Most stairwell lights are wall or ceiling-mounted solutions and tend to be linear, round, or square fixtures. Depending on your requirements, the different types of stairwell lights include options with motion sensors and emergency lighting as a backup.

Most are designed to operate between 100V and 277V. These lights are available in 4000K and 5000K. Some have color-adjustable and wattage-adjustable options.

What Are The Benefits of Using LED Lights in Stairwells?

• Energy Efficiency: significantly reduced energy used to produce the same amount (if not more) of lumens and light. This creates a safer and more welcoming work environment.
• Reduced Lighting Bills: You should expect your lighting bills to be 50% or more lower
• Reduced Maintenance: Long life and no bulb or ballast changes, or recycling charges
• Controls Ready: works well with motion sensors
• Instant on - instant off: no long strike times and cold weather does not affect the light like it does fluorescent lights
• No humming or strobing: a common issue with fluorescent lights as bulbs and ballasts get near end-of-life
• Quick Pay Back / ROI: The savings in energy will create a short ROI. And the higher the utility cost per kWh, the faster the payback.
• Safer Areas: LED Lights are reliable, and produce high-quality lighting for a long period versus metal halide and fluorescent lighting. It keeps the areas lit by LED lights safer and well-lit.
• Easy to install: There is nothing difficult about installing and wiring our shop lights for new installations or replacing old lighting. All instructions are included.
