LED Stair Lighting, Step LED Linear Lighting, & LED Backlighting
LED stair lighting can not only help prevent accidents but also improve your home’s overall style of decor. What’s more, there are plenty of lighting styles to pick from, making it easy to select the LED stair lighting that will best suit your needs and budget. Here are some tips to help you get started on the right track.
Recessed LED Lighting
Recessed wall lights near the steps give the stairs a warm glow. They don’t entirely light up the area, which means that you’ll want a chandelier or wall lights near the stairs if you need more light to see your way. Even so, wall recessed lights are ideal for wood, carpeted or stone stairs, and you can place the lights at varying angles to achieve the perfect look.

Step LED Linear Lighting
Will the stairs be used a lot in the evening or at night? If so, you want to make sure your stair lights brighten up the area, so no one gets hurt. Installing light strips on each step is a good way to ensure the steps are highly visible even if all the other lights are off. This form of lighting gives your stairs a beautiful glow.
Handrail LED Lighting
Handrail lighting is also a good option. It can be used in conjunction with other forms of stair lighting and it’s easy to install thanks to the fact that the LED lights are housed in extrusions so you don’t have to install traditional light fixtures. The LED extrusions are waterproof to allow for outdoor use and they can be configured to direct light at a particular angle to enhance the ambiance of any indoor or outdoor area.
LED Backlighting
If your stairs are made from stone or thin-cut wood, backlighting is an ideal option you won’t want to dismiss. It takes a bit of work to set up light fixtures under the steps, but the finished result is encouraging and more than worth the effort. The look is an elegant yet modern one that is sure to impress anyone who comes to your home. As an added benefit, backlighting the steps provides ample light to see your way around at night.
Contoured LED Strips
Contoured LED strips are meant to be set up on either side of the steps. You can choose bright LED colors to light up a room that is meant to have a vibrant, boisterous atmosphere. Alternatively, you can choose white LED strips to create a calm, soothing atmosphere. Contoured LED strips don’t offer much light to see your way at night, but they are easy to install and can help enhance your home decor.
When it comes to LED stair lighting, there is no one “right” or “wrong” choice. However, some options may be more suitable for some residential or commercial spaces than others. Consider practical points, aesthetics, cost, and ease of installation when selecting lighting for your stairs to ensure it complements your existing home decor while making it easy to get around in the evening and at night.
