Today’s Question: How high should I hang lighting in my hallway?
Hallway lighting can feel tricky since no two hallways are created equal. Different heights, lengths and shapes of a hall may make the options feel dizzying, but if you follow two main rules, all will be well:
- Fixtures should be 6-8 feet apart along the hallway.
- Fixtures should be hung a minimum of 7 feet from the ground. For taller ceilings, hang at 8 feet above the ground.
By following these two basic rules, you can ensure that light will be plentiful, balanced and, most importantly, not in danger of bonking any heads!
