Recessed Stair Lighting
Recessed Stair Lights Provide Function and
Aesthetics to any Stairwell
By Mark J. Donovan

When we were finishing our basement
we decided we would make the entrance to it more inviting by adding recessed
stair lighting. Recessed stair lights not only help to make the stairwell to the
basement more attractive, they also make the staircase safer. For our particular
staircase we chose fewer large recessed stair lights over many smaller ones. In
addition, we decided to mount them in the wall adjacent to the stairs for ease
of installation and to prevent fewer damaged light bulbs.
Integrated stair lighting is available in many different types, styles, and forms.
|
There are recessed stair lights that
can be integrated directly into the stair treads or risers, and there are stair
lights of different shapes and sizes that can be mounted into adjacent walls, as
we did in our finished basement project. In addition, recessed stair lights are
available in various light bulb technologies including incandescent and low
power LED lighting.

Integrated stair lights are also
available that can operate off of standard electrical boxes/wiring and off of
battery power, or even solar power. There are even recessed stair lights with
integrated combination light/electrical outlets.
So if you have finished basement or
deck construction plans that include stairs, make sure to visit your local
lighting store center and check out the options available to you for recessed
stair lighting. Recessed stair lighting is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that
can provide added safety and beauty to a room or deck.
