A considered approach

Hotel corridor lighting

Use wall light, concealed lines or well-shielded downlights to establish a clear route. Review finishes: dark carpet and walls absorb light differently from a pale corridor. Agree background levels and sensor timing with the operator so guests never step into an unwelcoming dark passage. Keep drivers and fittings accessible for maintenance without closing an entire floor.

What matters here

  1. 01

    Light room numbers and changes in direction

  2. 02

    Avoid repetitive pools of harsh light

  3. 03

    Coordinate occupancy controls with emergency lighting

What to include in your brief

Corridor lengths, ceiling heights, finishes, room signage and operating hours.
