Case study

Staircase feature lighting

A continuous recessed LED line was installed along the staircase wall, following the exact rise of the stairs so the light reads as a single unbroken run from hallway to landing.

The brief

What was needed

The client wanted the staircase to become a feature in its own right, with soft light on the treads at night instead of a bright overhead fitting.

Work completed

  • 01Set out and cut the channel so the light line mirrors the pitch of the stairs precisely
  • 02Installed plaster-in profile with a diffuser for an even, dot-free finish
  • 03Ran the supply and driver back to a discreet location for future access
  • 04Wired to a switch position agreed with the client and tested the circuit

The staircase is lit softly at foot level, the run is mitred cleanly at the top corner, and the fitting itself is invisible — only the light shows.
