Wall sconces or a chandelier?

Sconces light the steps where you walk. A chandelier fills the height of an open stairwell or a double-height landing. Many stairwells use both.

How do you light a stair wall without wiring?

Battery sconces: one or two screws each, about 15 minutes, up to 10 days per 5-hour USB-C charge. The auto-off timer switches them off after 15, 30 or 60 minutes.

Which chandelier for a stairwell?

Staggered rings suit a stairwell: rings at different heights read from below and from the landing above. Matrix staggered, Titan and Nordic Rings all drop up to 15 feet.

Who installs a stairwell chandelier?

It connects to a ceiling junction box; have a licensed electrician make the connection.

The studio

I'm Jack. I'm in Miami. I usually answer the phone.

Our lights are designed with intent. No visible bulbs. No bright lights in your eyes. Controlled lighting exactly where you need it. Art when they are off and they set the perfect ambiance when on. These lights are not on Amazon. Not in stores. Not through a distributor. That is on purpose. It lets us hold the quality, the finish, and the overall customer experience.
