LED staircase lighting distances for curved stairs

I would switch to light tubes or strips. Then everything is illuminated anyway, and you don’t have to worry about distances.

We found light strips in the pictures we found mostly too sterile. But we also considered it briefly.

Depends, I think, more on the color temperature than on the geometry of the source. Just use a slightly warmer light.

Is there a handrail? That usually looks pretty good too!

Yes, there is a handrail. What exactly looks pretty good with it?

An illuminated handrail instead of semi-ugly spots that only light up every 3rd or 4th step. A groove is milled into the handrail for the LED strip. It looks much more elegant, in my opinion.

I would plaster over the flush-mounted boxes for the spotlights and leave it at that. You don't have steps of the same width everywhere, it won't look the way you imagine. My suggestion: One wall outlet at the bottom, one wall outlet at the top. Done. The "stairwell" is about 4m². Think about how many lamps you hang in your study (10m²?) to have sufficient lighting there. For me, one on the ceiling and maybe a floor lamp at the desk is enough...
