How to Light a Hallway

Hallway lighting

There should be a light every 8-10 feet and the bottom of the light fixture should be at least 7 feet from the floor.

Either flush mounts or semi-flush fixtures can be used depending on the ceiling height.

If you have a long hallway, you may want to install wall sconces for added light and beauty. The rule again is that sconces are hung roughly 60” from the floor, spaced 6 -8 feet apart along the wall.
