Corridor In Daily Life
There you can see many hallways and corridors in your daily, such as the hallway in your home, the corridor in the metro station, the hallway in the commercial building, the corridor in healthcare, or the outside aisle. The corridors are the communication areas that link one side to another side, they have orientation, relaxation, movement, as well as sightseeing functions. In a commercial building, a good communication area, not only facilitates movement and the flow of people but also provides structure within the building. So a good lighting design for the corridor is vital for keeping people’s safety while moving around the corridor and reflecting an image of the company environment for the client visiting.
Why Choose LED Downlight Lights For Commercial Corridor Lighting?
When you enter a commercial building, the corridor lighting sets a tone first what you are impressed with before you find the target room, no matter whether the corridor area is small or large. As a facade, it’s necessary to invest in corridor lighting to make it stand out. For example, if you incorporate the proper lighting, you get to create an illusion space where welcoming reflects the unique style, and provides more information for visitors while they walk the corridors.
The corridor has various dimensions of ceiling height, corridor width, and desired lighting levels, but downlights come in various beam angles, including narrow, medium, and wide. The choice of beam angle will depend on the corridor's dimensions and the desired lighting effect. Narrow beam angles can create a more focused and accentuated lighting effect, while wider beam angles provide more uniform illumination. Besides, the downlight can be equipped with dimming capabilities, allowing for adjustable light levels in the corridor. This dimming control function can be integrated into the lighting control system for centralized management. Vary outlook designs of downlights also can be chosen to match the environment design and aesthetic preference, etc. Considering a series of factors, LED downlight is a kind of proper lighting fixture for commercial building corridors.
Additionally, different business situations have different setting tones, take the hotel corridor and office building corridor for examples.

How about the lux of the corridor?
Whether it is a house, hotel, or workplace, most of them recommend 100 lux light levels in hallways and corridors, but to the specific, there are still some different requirements.
Office Corridors
- General Office Corridors: The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommends an average illuminance level of around 50-100 lux for general office corridors. However, it's important to consider factors such as the corridor's width, the presence of windows or natural light, and the specific tasks or activities taking place in the corridor. Higher illuminance levels may be required for areas with more critical tasks or for corridors with low natural light.
Hotel Corridors
- Public Hotel Corridors: Hotel corridors typically serve as transition spaces between guest rooms and public areas. The recommended illuminance levels in public hotel corridors can range from 50-150 lux, depending on factors such as the corridor's width, the desired ambiance, and the presence of natural light. Higher illuminance levels may be preferred for corridors with darker finishes or for areas requiring better visibility, such as near elevators or emergency exits.
- Service Hotel Corridors: Service corridors in hotels, such as those used by housekeeping or maintenance staff, may require higher illuminance levels to ensure safety and efficient operations. Illuminance levels of 100-200 lux or higher may be appropriate for these areas.
