You should install a wall light around eye level this avoids glare because viewing right into the light source is not possible.
Wall light height standard.
If you are putting wall lights in a long hallway or corridor a general rule of thumb is to position them about 250 to 300cms or between 8 to 10 apart.
What is the best height for wall lights.
The mounting height of a wall light is of course something you choose yourself and often depends on your personal taste or the application.
But usually a mounting height of 1 60 to 1 70 m is taken as the standard.
Generally you don t want to be able to see the bulb inside the wall light fixture which makes 60 to 66 inches from the floor a frequently seen hanging height.
Stay closer to 60 inches if the ceilings are low.
