For complex installations or hardwired options, we recommend consulting a qualified electrician. Most step lights require minimal maintenance; simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth periodically.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I choose step lights?

Consider the size and style of your staircase, the level of illumination needed, and your overall decor theme. Ensure the step lights provide adequate illumination and complement your home’s design.

  • Do you need step lights on every step?

While not mandatory, having a step light on every step offers the most significant safety benefit. Alternatively, consider placing lights strategically at the beginning, end, and turning points of your staircase.

  • What are the benefits of step lights?

Step lights enhance safety, increase security, elevate curb appeal, create ambiance, and offer multiple design options.

  • Where should step lights be placed?

Ideally, step lights are positioned on the riser (vertical surface) of each step, facing downwards to illuminate the tread (horizontal surface) below.

  • What is the height of the step lights?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally, aim for step lights to be positioned around 4-6 inches below the top of the tread they illuminate.

  • How to put light on stairs?

For simple installations, follow the manufacturer's instructions for your chosen step lights. For complex wiring or hardwired options, consult a qualified electrician.

Buying guide
How to Choose Step Lights

Step lights are a subtle but essential safety feature for staircases, decks, and hallways. Recessed into the wall near floor level, they provide just enough illumination to guide movement without flooding a space with light — perfect for nighttime navigation and architectural accent.

Indoor vs. outdoor ratings
Indoor step lights need only a dry rating. For exterior stairs, decks, and pathways, choose fixtures rated for wet or damp locations. Stainless steel and composite housings resist corrosion in Canadian climates.
LED colour temperature
Warm white (2700K-3000K) creates a welcoming glow for interior and patio stairs. Cool white (4000K) improves visibility on outdoor service stairs. Amber LEDs are popular for decks, minimizing insect attraction.
Placement & spacing
Install step lights every 2-3 treads on indoor stairs and every tread on outdoor steps for safety. Mount them 6-8 inches above the tread in the wall or riser. Alternate left-right placement for a balanced look.
Recessed vs. surface mount
Recessed step lights sit flush with the wall for a clean, modern look. Surface-mount options are easier to retrofit on finished walls but protrude slightly. Both provide effective low-level illumination.
Common questions
Lumières pour Escaliers FAQ
How many step lights do I need?
For indoor stairs, one light every 2-3 treads provides adequate guidance. For outdoor stairs and safety-critical areas, install one on every tread or every other tread, depending on ambient light conditions.
Can step lights be dimmed?
Many LED step lights are compatible with low-voltage dimmers. Some include built-in photocells that automatically adjust brightness based on ambient light. Check individual product specs for dimming capabilities.
Are step lights difficult to install?
Recessed step lights require cutting into the wall and running low-voltage wiring, so professional installation is recommended. Surface-mount models are simpler and can sometimes be a DIY project for experienced homeowners.
Do step lights use a lot of energy?
No. LED step lights typically consume 1-3 watts per fixture. Even a staircase with 10 step lights uses less energy than a single 40-watt bulb.
What step light brands do you carry?
We carry step lights from WAC Lighting, Hinkley, Kichler, Generation Lighting, and other leading manufacturers.
Do step lights ship for free?
Yes, free standard shipping on all orders over $199 across Canada.
