Hallway and entrance hall lighting
A hallway often has no natural light, so artificial light works all day. What matters most is even light without dark corners or glaring points, and in an entrance hall enough light at the mirror and the wardrobe.
Recommended lighting
- Light level
- 100–200 lx
- For general light. It is worth having a little more at the mirror or wardrobe.
- Colour temperature
- 3000–4000 K
- 3000 K warm white feels cosy, 4000 K brighter and more practical. Choose the same colour as in the neighbouring rooms.
How to plan the light
- General lighting A long hallway suits a row of luminaires at even spacing, a wide entrance hall a ceiling luminaire or a group of recessed ones. In a long hallway avoid a single light in the middle.
- Task lighting At the mirror and wardrobe you need more light: a wall light or a separate group of luminaires by the mirror.
- Accent lighting Wall lights add depth to a hallway and can serve as orientation lighting at night.

Frequently asked questions
How much light does a hallway need?
A hallway usually needs about 100–200 lx. It is worth having a little more light at the mirror and wardrobe.
How should I space luminaires in a long hallway?
Space them evenly along the hallway so there are no dark stretches. The spacing depends on the beam angle of the luminaire and the ceiling height; you can work it out with the lighting calculator.
What colour temperature suits a hallway?
Both 3000 K and 4000 K work; the main thing is that the colour matches the neighbouring rooms. Warm light gives a cosier impression, neutral light a more practical one.
Do wall lights suit a hallway?
Yes: they light the wall and corners, and at night can serve as orientation light. In a narrow hallway choose slim luminaires so they do not get in the way.
