my stairwell and landing are mega dull, i have a 60 watt bulb and thats it, there is no light, so i need something to really light it up, ideas welcome. :thumbs:

If your stairway has a high ceiling,I always fancied using something like

recessed into the ceiling. But these are intended for commercial premises

Theres plenty of options out there.

You don't say whether your house is modern or a period property. I have a modern townhouse and recently bought this light for a dining area: http://www.johnlewis.com/Electrical...ll+Ceiling+Lights/6534/230334721/Product.aspx

It takes three 40 watt bulbs and gives a beautiful spread of warm light. If that's too bright for you, it will work with a dimmer. If it's a period property, a brass lantern might work. Some of these take two bulbs, and again you can dim. Check out the John Lewis site.

This is what we have above our stairwell (2x13W). Works very well! We're going to stick these in our kitchen too.

I put in one of these which did help.

not very good in the dark though (but they are good with a full moon)

we have just a pendant on the landing, so i put one of these in it

I chose spiral because its "differnt" no other reason
