Light in a hallway without a dropped ceiling

A recessed spotlight is often not an option in a hallway: there is no dropped ceiling, and you are not going to cut a hole in the concrete or wooden floor above your head. This surface-mounted ceiling light is designed to be mounted directly against the ceiling. It is only 7 cm deep and available in Ø 10.5 cm (9W), Ø 14 cm (12W), Ø 16 cm (18W) or Ø 18 cm (21W). The smallest version is barely larger than a light switch. Choose the light color for each variant: warm white 3000K, neutral white 4000K or cool white 6000K. Iron housing with acrylic diffuser, in matte black or white.

Why it works in a hallway

• Surface-mounted installation: no hole in the ceiling required, making it suitable for concrete, a wooden floor above or a rental property.
• Just 7 cm deep: it protrudes very little, so it does not feel low or bulky in a narrow hallway.
• Four diameters from 10.5 to 18 cm: choose based on the width of the hallway and how much light you need.
• 9 to 21W depending on size: 9W is enough for a short hallway; for a long hallway with multiple lights, choose 18 or 21W.
• Three color temperatures: 3000K for a warm hallway, 4000K for neutral lighting in a passageway, 6000K if it is also used as a workspace.
• Integrated LED: no bulb socket, so you never have to use a ladder to change a bulb in a narrow hallway.
• Iron and acrylic, matte black or white: matte rather than glossy, so you do not see reflections from the ceiling light.
• IP20 and 220-240V: for dry indoor spaces; installation by a qualified electrician.

How many lights in a hallway

As a rule, allow for one light point every two to two and a half meters of hallway length; with fewer, you will get dark patches between the lights. This means that for a five-meter hallway, it is better to install two or three small lights of Ø 10.5 or Ø 14 cm than one large light in the middle, because even light distribution matters more than maximum output from a single point. Choose the same color temperature as in the adjoining rooms; otherwise, the difference will stand out in the passageway. The light is surface-mounted and connected to 220-240V by a qualified electrician, so decide on the number and positions before the electrician arrives.
