Perhaps, each of us at least once in our lives had to walk without lighting along the stairwell of the entrance in complete darkness in the regions of Russia. And even if in this case it was possible to successfully overcome all the steps, then all the same, the unpleasant sensations we endured remained for a long time. So, in order to completely exclude the possibility of a repetition of this, it is necessary to properly organize reliable and comfortable lighting of stairs.
The main task in managing the lighting of staircases is to ensure safe and comfortable movement for all people passing through it. To do this, the light should be directed to the steps from above and clearly shade the contours of each of them. In addition, the light should create soft, rather than harsh, shadows to improve the spatial orientation of people. It should also be noted that well-lit walls create a sense of security in a person.
Emergency lighting of stairwells should also be thought out. In case of unforeseen or critical situations, it will help to avoid unnecessary risks.
The AKTEY company in the regions of Russia will be able to offer you at least 10 solutions for stairwell lighting for every taste and budget. You can buy our solutions from us or from our dealers in any region of Russia.
Staircase lighting standards
The level of illumination of staircases is standardized by SNiP 23-05-95 * "Natural and artificial lighting", it ranges from 50 to 100 lux. Particular attention should be paid to the contrast of the steps when they are illuminated, but at the same time, the lamps should not dazzle people walking along the flight of stairs. Therefore, light sources are usually placed on ceilings or high on walls.
The most functional and complete solution in the AKTEY portfolio is the SA-7008U LED lamp of the Perseus series. This intelligent product always works in the presence of people, and at the moment when there is no one on the stairs, it turns off completely or goes into standby mode. At this moment, only natural lighting of the stairwells of residential buildings works. SA-7008U does not require replacement of lamps, when using such a solution, there is no need for any maintenance during the entire period of operation.
On the one hand, the polycarbonate housing provides a high light output from the LED module, and on the other hand, it significantly reduces glare. The streamlined shape allows the lamps to be used as decorative elements of the premises. The body of the luminaire is made of polycarbonate, which, on the one hand, has high light transmission abilities, and, on the other hand, evenly distributes the flow of light without having a dazzling effect. The impact resistance of this material and the special streamlined shape provide excellent vandal resistance.
How to make lighting on the staircase?
In addition to the fact that the lighting of stairs and platforms in the entrances of residential buildings is designed to ensure the safety and comfort of the residents of the house, it must be energy-saving and vandal-proof, that is, protected from external destruction, breakage and theft. The use of luminaires with sensors will save up to 98% of electricity on lighting. Anti-vandal protection of LED lamps is provided by a durable polycarbonate housing, special fasteners protect against theft.
Since the lamps in the stairwells and marches often work around the clock, the absolute value of savings both in watts and in rubles can be quite significant.
At AKTEY, you can choose the best solution for your staircase from the following options:
- LED lamps of the Perseus series - SA-7008U, SA-7006, SA-7006D, SA-7106E;

REQUIREMENTS FOR EMERGENCY LIGHTING
When designing emergency lighting for residential buildings, apartment buildings, residential premises, it is necessary to be guided by the requirements of current regulatory documents, building codes and rules.
In accordance with the requirements of SP52.13330.2011 (updated version of SNiP 23-05-95), the set of rules "Natural and artificial lighting" - emergency lighting for residential buildings and premises should be provided in case of a power failure of the main (working) lighting. Emergency lighting should be turned on automatically when the power supply to the main (working) lighting fails, as well as by the signals of the fire and emergency alarm systems or manually if there is no alarm or it has not worked.
Emergency lighting of residential buildings, houses, premises connects to a power source independent of the work light power source.
In residential buildings, houses and premises, emergency lighting should provide the necessary level of illumination along evacuation routes. Escape emergency lighting should be tripled:
- in corridors and passages along the evacuation route;
- in places of change (difference) in the level of the floor or coating;
- on stairs - each march should be lit by direct light, especially the upper and lower steps;
- in the zone of each change in the direction of the evacuation route;
- at the intersection of aisles and corridors;
- in places where emergency communications and other means intended for notification of an emergency are located;
- in places where primary fire extinguishing equipment is located;
- at the locations of the evacuation plan;
- outside - in front of each final exit from the building.
Along with evacuation emergency lighting of evacuation routes, safety lighting should be provided. Lighting of areas of increased danger should be provided in the premises of the input distribution devices, the main switchboard, in the premises where emergency power supplies are located or equipment connected to standby independent power supplies is located.
When designing emergency lighting for residential buildings, houses, premises, it is necessary to limit the glare from emergency lighting fixtures located on escape routes or in high-risk areas. Glare limitation should be achieved by limiting the luminous intensity of the luminaires depending on the installation height of the luminaires. Limit values of light intensity are reflected in SP52.13330.2011.
In multi-storey residential buildings, along with emergency evacuation lighting, emergency lighting in elevators should be provided. Requirements for emergency lighting of the elevator cabin are given in GOST R 53780-2010 “Elevators. General safety requirements for the device and installation.
According to SP-267.1325800.2016 “High-rise buildings and complexes. Design Rules - emergency lighting refers to the safety system of high-rise buildings.
In multi-storey high-rise residential buildings, emergency lighting is designed taking into account the requirements of SP 253.1325800.2016 "ENGINEERING SYSTEMS OF HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS". In accordance with these requirements, emergency lighting belongs to the 1st category of electrical receivers, for which, according to the technical assignment for design, a third, independent power source can be provided to ensure operation in emergency mode for 3 hours. As an independent power source for power receivers of a special group of the 1st category, Diesel power plants (DES) or Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) can be used, which should turn on automatically when the external power is turned off.
Additionally, the set of rules SP 253.1325800.2016 defines the requirements for cable lines for electrical wiring of emergency lighting systems on escape routes.
AUTONOMOUS LIGHTS FOR EMERGENCY LIGHTING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, HOUSES AND ROOMS
On the one hand, emergency lighting fixtures must meet all the requirements for emergency lighting equipment, and on the other hand, they must comply with the operating conditions.
For corridors, entrances and stairwells of multi-apartment residential buildings, luminaires and indicators in a shock-resistant anti-vandal case, with IP44 / IP54 / IP65 protection against dust and moisture, are well suited. As an additional anti-vandal protection, the luminaires can be used in conjunction with a protective metal mesh.

None of the regulatory legal acts of Russia contains the definition of "house territory".
At whose expense should it be made?
In accordance with the Housing Code, all expenses for maintaining the common property of the house are divided between the owners in proportion to the area of their apartments, and since the adjacent territory belongs to joint property, the payment for street light falls on the shoulders of the owners. Expenses for street lighting are calculated according to the general house meter and are monthly included in the receipts of the residents of the house.
Reference! If it is not documented that the territory around the house belongs to the common property, the inclusion of such a line of expenses in receipts for payment is illegal and may serve as the start of litigation.
Returning home at night is much more pleasant and safer in a lighted courtyard than getting to your own apartment in the dark, shuddering at every rustle. The lack of light in the yard is a reason to contact the management company or administration.

Electricity tariffs are increasing every year, along with them, general house payments for lighting common areas are growing. In this regard, many management companies are beginning to consider how to upgrade the lighting in the entrances to LED. What solutions exist today and how to make the right choice?
Are built-in sensors required?
The main goal of introducing LED lighting technology in the housing and communal services sector is savings. The LED solution itself is 8-10 times more economical than a similar one with an incandescent lamp and about 2 times more economical than a solution with a compact fluorescent lamp, so you can limit yourself to the introduction of luminaires without sensors.
But a product with built-in "intelligence" will additionally save another 60-80% of electricity. At the same time, additional costs will be very small. It can be concluded that lighting equipment with a built-in sensor is an economically sound solution for the housing and communal services sector.
What type of detection to choose?
Most often, the presence of a person on the stairwell is determined by sound or by movement. Smaller volumes of application of lighting equipment with motion sensors in apartment buildings are due to the fact that this type of device is directional, which imposes significant restrictions on the location of the lamp in the stairwell. It turns out that in the limited space of the entrance it is not always possible to replace the existing point-to-point lighting equipment while maintaining the installation location. At the same time, the supply of electrical networks to a new place is always an additional cost.
Equipment with sound detection does not have this disadvantage, the accuracy of determining the presence of a person does not depend on the location of the lamp. This is probably one of the reasons that such products are widely used in all regions of Russia without exception. The disadvantages of the acoustic method include false positives, for example, due to extraneous noise on the street or in apartments. But such trips in general, for all solutions installed at the facility, rarely account for more than 3% of the total operation time.
The second sensor that manufacturers build into the housing and public utilities luminaire is an optical one. Its function is to ensure that the light in the entrance does not turn on during daylight hours, if there is enough natural light. It is permissible to conclude that the best solution is a combination of two sensors in the product, namely optical and acoustic. Such "smart" lighting technology can save up to 98% of electricity. There are facilities where consumers have been able to reduce the cost of each light point from 1,500 rubles to 27 rubles a year.
Why is standby mode necessary?
To increase comfort and safety, some lamps have a “standby mode”. In this mode, the equipment operates at full capacity only when there is a person in the staircase, and the rest of the time it emits 20-30% of the declared luminous flux.
There is no longer total darkness in the room, there is enough light for the operation of video surveillance systems, in order to see through the peephole what is happening on the landing. At the same time, electricity consumption is extremely low. Perhaps, we can already say that the presence of a standby mode is one of the standard customer requirements for lighting equipment with sensors in the housing and communal services sector.
What power to choose?
Other things being equal, the higher the power of the equipment, the brighter it will be in the room. Today, the optimal total power consumption for housing and communal services lamps is in the range of 6-8 W. Such a product will replace an analogue with an incandescent lamp with a power of up to 60-75W.
What degree of protection against ingress of moisture and dust is sufficient?
The degree of protection is indicated in accordance with GOST 14254 by the letters IP and two numbers. From IP20 to IP68. The higher the index, the higher the protection.
For entrances and other dry premises, IP20 protection is sufficient; for basements and similar premises, protection from IP54 and above is desirable. For lighting at the entrance to the entrance, it is better to choose fixtures with IP64 and above.
For products with acoustic sensors, a relatively low degree of IP is characteristic, since technological holes in the body are necessary for more accurate operation of sensors of this type.
How to protect equipment from vandals and theft?
Vandal resistance is a rather important parameter when choosing solutions for entrances of residential buildings. Lighting equipment for the housing and communal services sector must withstand significant shock loads, while remaining operational.
If the body of such lamps has a streamlined shape, this will also complicate its unauthorized dismantling from the wall or ceiling. Anti-removable fasteners, plugs, and other design solutions are able to provide sufficiently reliable protection against equipment theft.
Luminaires SA-7008U of the Perseus series, as one of the most common solutions in housing and communal services
It seems that the need to replace existing equipment in the housing and communal services sector with modern LED lighting equipment with sensors is quite obvious and even inevitable.
As an example of a specific solution that is already widely used in apartment buildings, let's cite the SA-7008U lamp of the Perseus series. This series is produced by the Aktey company, located in the city of St. Petersburg.
SA-7008U of the Perseus series is a multi-mode LED luminaire with built-in optical and acoustic sensors.
Power consumption - 8 W, luminous flux - 800 lumens. Power consumption in standby mode - no more than 2 watts. Three modes of operation in one product significantly expand the possibilities of application, while the design and installation organization and storage facilities of the manufacturer and customer continue to work with only one nomenclature position.
Application of SA-7008U
Lighting of stairwells, halls, corridors, lobbies and other premises with periodic stay of people in residential and public buildings. The SA-7008U "Persey" multi-mode luminaire with a standby mode of operation and a full off mode is designed to work in an alternating current network with a voltage of 220 volts.
SA-7008U series "Perseus" is designed to work on stairwells, so the degree of protection is IP30. The anti-vandal case maintains very aggressive external influences. Each product is supplied with anti-theft hardware and the required tool for installation on site. Thanks to the polycarbonate body, SA-7008U has an electrical safety class II, which means that it does not require a ground line.
The high reliability of SA-7008U leads to the fact that customers who have started using Perseus series lighting solutions continue to use them on the next floor, in the next entrance, in the next apartment building.

Comfortable living of tenants in an apartment building is provided in different ways. One of them is the lighting in the entrance. While many residents continue to use incandescent bulbs, alternative lighting sources are growing in popularity as they are more economical, durable, and have low incandescent levels.
High-quality lighting in the entrance is a necessary condition for the safe and comfortable living of residents.
Lighting of entrances can be arranged in an economical way. Innovative light bulbs produce a soft light that is at the same time more intense and less expensive. This is not done on your own. It is necessary to contact the management company, which is obliged to respond if the lighting does not meet the established requirements.
Currently, many entrances are equipped with an automatic system. Thanks to this, it significantly reduces the cost of electricity. It also complies with the requirements that are established in legislative acts.
Sample application for the modernization of lighting in the entrance.
Each entrance of the MKD is necessarily equipped with lighting fixtures. The regulatory documents indicate what the illumination should be (in lux). There are no categorical indications for certain lighting devices in the rules.
However, there is an indication that lamps should be economical, with greater light output and service life.
These conditions are met by both fluorescent and LED lamps, including LED strips.
Norms of illumination of various parts of the entrance and utility rooms
Lighting in the entrances of different premises has its own standards and rules (GOSTs, construction SNiP). The main ones include the following:
- rationing is carried out according to table VSN 59-88, which contains two types of standards: light from incandescent or fluorescent lamps;
- in elevators, lamps have an illumination power of 20 lux (for fluorescent lamps) and 7 lux (for incandescent bulbs);
- wheelchair rooms are illuminated with incandescent bulbs;
- elevator shafts - incandescent bulbs of 5 lux;
- basement and attic rooms, as well as switchboard rooms, garbage collection rooms and others, are illuminated with 10 lux incandescent bulbs.
Incandescent lamps are gradually becoming a thing of the past. And the leading positions are increasingly confidently occupied by LED devices, as the most economical and durable.
Entrance lighting control standards
Automation undergoes regular modernization. Normative documentation does not always have time to change in connection with emerging technologies. Therefore, often the norms of lighting in the entrances of residential buildings are advisory in nature. In this case, you need to remember the following points:
- the automatic system must be switched on and off manually;
- when installing a system that reacts automatically, the light should turn on with varying degrees of illumination;
- if sensors are used, then emergency lighting is provided, which is switched on in stairwells in automatic and manual mode;
- the devices illuminating the attic are located outside this room.
Who pays for lighting in the entrances, and how the amount is determined
Lighting in the entrances refers to the general needs of the house. If earlier the consumption of electricity for general house needs was registered separately in the receipt, then from the beginning of 2017 this item was removed. Currently, the calculation is performed depending on the presence or absence of a common house meter.
If a common house meter is installed, then the indicators are determined by the employees of the supervisory authority together with representatives of the house. After that, the difference between the amount received and the accounting values in each apartment is calculated.
The number of square meters not equipped with sensors also matters. The result is distributed among the homeowners depending on the area of the premises. The more square meters in the apartment, the more you have to pay for electrical energy for ODN.
If there is no meter, then payment is made in accordance with the current regulations established in the region.
Motion sensor in the entrance - reacts to the movement of objects in its "area of responsibility".
Who is replacing the lighting in the entrances
If there is no light in the entrance, then the reason can be determined independently. It may be as follows:
- bulb burnout;
- ceiling lamp malfunction;
- closure;
- damage to switches;
- breakage of the switchboard;
- accident;
- planned work.
After finding out the cause of the breakdown, they report it to the management company or homeowners association. These organizations are responsible for providing light in the entrances of an apartment building (the obligation does not apply to balconies, the lighting decision of which is made by the homeowners).
Expert opinion
Mironova Anna Sergeevna
Generalist lawyer. Specializes in family matters, civil, criminal and housing law
Replacing light bulbs is the responsibility of the management company. Troubleshooting and replacement are performed based on the results of scheduled inspections. They are held according to a set schedule.
Where to go if there is no lighting in the entrances
Residents can call or come to the Criminal Code and submit an application. The specialists of the management company must carry out the necessary work the very next day after the request. In case of delay, tenants have the right to contact the housing inspectorate or the prosecutor's office. In some cases, the period during which the work is performed can be extended up to 7 days.
What are the possible consequences for the Criminal Code if there is no lighting in the entrances
Lighting in the entrance is very important, because in addition to its direct purpose, it ensures the safety of residents and protection against theft. Therefore, authorized organizations are obliged to urgently respond to these applications.
If after 7 days after filing the application the problem has not been resolved, the management company may be held legally liable under the Code of Administrative Offenses. In accordance with Article 7.22 of the Code, officials are fined in the amount of 4,000 to 5,000 rubles. And the fine for legal entities ranges from 40 to 50 thousand rubles.
Art. 7.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Violation of the rules for the maintenance and repair of residential buildings and (or) residential premises.
The rights and legitimate interests of citizens are controlled by the State Housing Inspectorate. The specialists of this organization and the administration have the right to draw up protocols if relevant violations are revealed.
Driveway lighting automation schemes
Lighting in the entrances of apartment buildings is carried out in different ways. Each scheme has its own characteristics. They can combine each other or have similar characteristics. Below are the options that are most common.
Lighting control with push buttons
The method is more suitable for low-rise buildings, the residents of which are distinguished by a conscious attitude. With it, it is possible to save money, but it depends only on the tenants. The main advantage of this method is the affordable price.
Management is carried out in two ways.
The first one is a push-button post located at the entrance at the entrance and on each floor.
The second - makes it possible to turn on and off the light only in the stairway. Basements and attics have outdoor lighting in the form of a standard switch or a special sensor.
If the apartment owners do not show conscientiousness in general house issues, then the light can be turned off by means of a timer.
Using Light Sensors
When there is good natural light, a system with light sensors is a suitable option. This is not the most economical option, but is used as an alternative to the standard switch.
The sensor is installed in a dark place. The device works when it gets dark. In this case, lighting can be switched on in the entrance or outside the premises. In utility rooms, it is advisable to use standard switches.
Using Motion Sensors
This scheme appeared not so long ago, but its popularity is growing every year. When using motion sensors, savings are achieved. Moreover, attention from the residents is not required.
In this case, sensors are installed on each floor, but sometimes one at the entrance to the entrance. After the device has been triggered, the time until the device is turned off is counted. In the presence of an elevator, the inclusion of light is carried out in different ways. Most often, the sensor is triggered when leaving the elevator. Utility rooms of the entrance are best equipped with standard switches.
Combined lighting schemes
Often, combined lighting schemes are used in the entrances. At the same time, they are guided by the type of premises and the tasks assigned. For example, a light sensor is installed as the main starter, which works in low light and gives a signal to motion sensors mounted outside, in the lobby and in the elevator.
In another example, a motion sensor is used as the main one. Other rooms can be switched on using standard switches.
