LED Hallway & Corridor Lighting Fixtures Page 3

Hallways and corridors call for even, comfortable light with no dark spots between fixtures. The right choice depends on your ceiling and the look you want:

What is the best lighting for a hallway or corridor?

It depends on the ceiling. Drop ceilings typically use flat panels or troffers; hard ceilings use recessed downlights; open or architectural ceilings use suspended linear fixtures. Utility and back-of-house corridors often use strip lights, and hospitality corridors add wall sconces for appearance.

What color temperature should corridor lighting be?

3500K to 4000K (neutral white) is the common choice for commercial corridors, giving a clean, alert feel. Warmer 2700K to 3000K is often used in hotels, multifamily, and residential corridors.

Do corridors need emergency and exit lighting?

Usually yes. Corridors are typically part of a building's means of egress, so code generally requires exit signs and emergency lighting along the path. We carry code-ready exit signs and emergency lights.

How can I save energy in corridors that are lit around the clock?

Switch to LED and add occupancy sensors or bi-level dimming. Because corridors run so many hours, controls deliver some of the fastest energy paybacks in a building.

How far apart should hallway lights be spaced?

Spacing depends on fixture output, mounting height, and the look you want, but the goal is even coverage with no dark gaps between fixtures. Our team can help you lay out spacing for uniform light.
