Commercial Elevator Lighting 101
Elevators are necessary for high buildings, and while people don’t spend much time in them, lighting is especially important for both safety and comfort.
Standard components of elevators include wall panels, bases, and reveals, as well as handrails and ceiling with light fixtures and emergency lighting. Because elevators have low ceilings, are a compact space, and are constantly in motion (with frequent vibrations), elevator lighting requirements are slightly different than in other areas of buildings.
