Ceiling Height:
We have a guide on how to choose the perfect ceiling light that gives useful advice on choosing the correct size of ceiling light.
Layer your lighting:
Consider adding multiple light sources in your hallway, such as wall sconces or table lamps, to create a layered lighting effect that can add depth and visual interest.
Lighting Shadows
Make sure that your hallway lighting doesn't cast harsh shadows or create glare that can be uncomfortable or distracting. Choose fixtures that direct light downwards or away from the walls, and avoid placing them directly in the line of sight.
Types of Hallway Lighting.
Flush Mount Ceiling Lights:
Flush mount ceiling fixtures are a popular option for hallways as they provide ample lighting without taking up much space. They come in a variety of styles and can be fitted with money-saving LED bulbs. We think the Fargo Flush looks fantastic as a hallway light and is available with matching wall lights. If you are looking for something a little more contemporary, the Oscar 6 Light by Endon Lighting provides a wonderful focal point. Either Flush or Pendants provide excellent ceiling lights for hallways.
Wall sconces:
Wall sconces are another great option for hallways, particularly if you have limited ceiling space or want to create a softer, more ambient lighting effect. They can be mounted at eye level and come in a range of styles to suit different design preferences. The Fargo Tiffany Wall Light is stylish and bright sconce that is easy to coordinate and adds stylish Art Deco sophistication to your home.
Pendant Lights:
Pendant lights can be used to add a decorative touch to a hallway while also providing functional lighting. Choose a pendant light with a diffuser to avoid glare and ensure even lighting or plump for a very traditional lantern style such as the Lambeth 4 light by Endon Lighting
Types of Lamp Bulbs for Hallway Lights
We recommend LED lamp bulbs now above all others. They are a fantastic source of light and are now more popular than any other lamp for a variety of reasons.
Energy Efficient: LED lamps will save you money on your electricity as they use a tenth of the electricity that an incandescent lamp would use.
Long Lifespan: LED lamps have a much longer lifespan than incandescent bulbs, which means you'll need to replace them less often. This can save you money in the long run and reduce waste.
Versatility: LED lamps come in a wide range of styles, sizes, and colours, making them suitable for a variety of lighting needs. We love some of the decorative LED lamps by Endon Lighting. For the traditional look, the candle filament LED lamp is hard to beat.
Durability: LED lamps are more durable and resistant to damage than traditional bulbs, which can be more fragile and prone to breaking.
Instant On: LED lamps turn on instantly, without the warm-up period required by traditional bulbs.
Dimming Capability: Many LED lamps are dimmable, allowing you to adjust the light level to suit your needs.
