Entry light
Threshold, corridor, and stair lighting that welcomes you in from Herrengasse weather and guides guests without a tunnel effect.
Ambient
Even room wash
Task
Directed work light
Accent
Sparse highlights
Street door to inner hall
Graz street doors often open into dark vestibules with one tired ceiling rose. We keep a modest ambient level for keys and coats, then add a vertical accent on one wall so depth appears immediately.
Motion-linked night levels help late returns from Jakomini nightlife without blasting the full evening scene.
Stair reveals in split-level flats
Split levels in renovated Lend buildings create short flights that disappear under poor overhead light. Low wall grazers or step nosing LEDs show tread edges while leaving the upper landing calmer.
We avoid single pendant drops over stairs where head clearance is already tight under timber beams.

| 3000 K | Stair nosing / wall graze | Safe edge reading |
| 2200 K | Night path only | Guiding ember |
Shared stairwells versus private landings
Building stairwells fall under house rules; we stay inside the private landing and door leaf. Accent light on a console or art piece can still signal arrival without altering communal fixtures.
Where landlords allow a porch lantern on the courtyard side, we match its Kelvin to the inner hall so the threshold does not jump colour.
Coat, mirror, and bag drop
A mirror without dedicated light turns faces green under corridor ambient alone. A small vertical bath-style strip or framed wash beside the glass fixes grooming checks before you leave for the tram.
Bag drop shelves benefit from a narrow downlight so dark leather bags do not vanish into shadow.
Entry packages in EUR
Entry & Threshold concepts start at €540 for a single hall plus stair flight. Hardware budgets for LED nosing and two wall grazers commonly sit between €220 and €680 depending on finish.
Combined with ambient work, entry accents are often folded into the Full Stack package listed on pricing.
