Led Downlight for Hallways

LED downlights for hallways are the cleanest way to light a route: recessed into the ceiling, they're barely visible and create a sequence of light that guides you from one room to the next. At GreenIce you'll find efficient downlights with good visual comfort and a choice of light tones, perfect for hallways in homes, offices or hotels.

Recommended downlights for hallways

• High-efficiency downlights with Lifud driver: from 7 W to 32 W with up to 140 lm/W and flicker-free, in 2700 K, 4000 K and 6000 K. The 7 W and 12 W models are ideal for home hallways.
• Downlights with adjustable tone (CCT): models that let you choose between several light tones, some with UGR17 to reduce glare.
• Adjustable downlights: let you aim the light at paintings, doors or decorative features in the hallway.
• IP44 downlights: for hallways that connect to bathrooms or covered outdoor areas.

How to light a hallway

• In-line layout: align the downlights along the center of the hallway, roughly 1 to 1.5 meters apart, so the light is continuous.
• Wall washing: if you shift the downlights to one side, the light will graze the wall and the hallway will look wider.
• Automatic switching: combine the downlights with presence and motion detectors so the light only comes on when someone walks by, especially useful at night.

How to choose a downlight for the hallway

Wattage

Hallways don't need much light: 6 to 12 W per light point is enough in a home. In office or hotel corridors, you can go up to 18–20 W.

Color temperature

3000 K for a smooth transition to bedrooms and living rooms; 4000 K if the hallway connects work areas.

Visual comfort

Since you walk along hallways looking ahead, downlights with low UGR or a recessed LED avoid discomfort.

Cut-out diameter

If you're replacing old spotlights, measure the ceiling hole to choose a model that fits without modifying the suspended ceiling.

Frequently asked questions

Downlight or ultra-thin panel?

If the suspended ceiling is very tight, an ultra-thin panel may be the better option; a downlight usually offers more glare control.
