Here at Light Design, we offer professional lighting solutions for your entire venue, not just stage or wall lighting. This might include exterior lighting, reception lighting or even staircase lighting. And this can be vitally important to the success of your evening. Take staircase lighting for example: if your event space has a staircase that your guests will be using, designing effective staircase lighting is essential. Not only is professional and effective lighting useful for the overall aesthetic of your venue, but its also necessary for the safety of your guests too. So, what should you consider when thinking about staircase lighting? And what are the options available? Well, this is our guide to staircase lighting design for any event.
Illuminating your staircase can prevent slips, trips and falls, but it can also help to create a stunning focal point in any space. You could consider:
- LED strip lighting along each stair
- LED strip lighting following the banister
- uplighting
- video wall
LED strip lighting
LED strip lighting can be a great choice for lighting staircases. The strips can be positioned along the base of each stair, for maximum illumination. But they can also be programmed to change colour based on a timer system, or at your request. This draws the staircase into the event itself and helps it become an attractive visual feature.
In addition, you could position LED strip lighting along the banister of your staircase. This can even be attached the underside of the banister so that it provides a helpful glow, that isn’t too bright. This can be combined with the step lighting to create a stunning visual effect.
Uplighting
Wall lights positioned along the wall of the staircase can also be an attractive and useful feature. These lights will direct light upwards towards the ceiling, creating an unusual, subtle lighting effect. If your venue has a theme, these lights can even be designed to suit your theme.The lighting can also be used to reflect the colour theme of the event.
Video wall
Adding a video wall along the wall of the staircase can be a great way to add light and style to the space. The video wall can play any images or designs that you choose, so you might opt to display the logos of event sponsors, or simply a design pattern that is relevant to your theme Either way, the video wall will illuminate the staircase, and create an unusual visual effect.
