Stairwell Lighting
LED Stairwell Fixtures
LED stairwell fixtures replace traditional fluorescent stairwell lighting with energy-efficient solutions designed for 24/7 operation. These compact linear fixtures deliver reliable illumination for stairwells, catwalks, and egress routes while cutting energy costs up to 75% and providing 50,000+ hour lifespans. Designed to meet building codes for continuous operation and emergency lighting requirements, stairwell lighting ensures safety compliance in commercial, institutional, and multifamily buildings. PROLIGHTING features industry-leading brands including Light Efficient Design, Sylvania, and RAB, offering fixtures in 24", 36", and 48" lengths to accommodate various stairwell configurations.
Occupancy sensing is essential for stairwell applications where fixtures must activate instantly when someone enters but can dim or turn off when spaces are unoccupied. PIR (passive infrared) and microwave sensor technologies detect motion reliably even when line of sight is blocked by stairs or obstacles, ensuring lights activate before users reach the first step. This automatic control maintains safety while maximizing energy savings in spaces that experience intermittent use throughout the day. Emergency battery backup options provide 90 minutes of illumination during power outages, meeting egress lighting requirements for commercial and institutional buildings.
Modern LED stairwell fixtures offer field-adjustable features for simplified specification. Wattage selectable fixtures let you adjust light output on-site to match vertical space requirements, while CCT selectable models typically switch between 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K color temperatures. Most fixtures feature 0-10V dimming for integration with building automation systems and damp location ratings for enclosed stairwells. DLC listed options qualify for utility rebates, with lifespans up to 100,000 hours providing years of maintenance-free operation in hard-to-access vertical spaces.
