I-lighting Offers Complete Stairlighting Solution for Enhancing Indoor & Outdoor Stair Safety

I-lighting, the leading manufacturer of extremely easy-to-install, reliable and cost-effective interior and exterior lighting applications, has enhanced the effectiveness of its indoor and outdoor StairLighting System with the introduction of a newly-designed LED display that illuminates each individual step.

The newly-introduced fixture is designed to specifically increase safety, reduce injuries resulting from falls on poorly-lit stairways and help contractors, builders and home owners nationwide to meet the latest codes mandating the illumination of interior and exterior stairways. This includes the latest set of regulations issued by the International Code Council (ICC), which clearly details the need to light the treads and landings of interior stairways to "levels not less than 1 foot-candle" and install lighting in "the immediate vicinity of the top landing of exterior stairs."

"Staircase falls injure thousands of people each year," says Scott Holland, I-lighting's president and CEO. "Improper maintenance, obstruction and poor lighting coupled with health issues are often the leading culprits of injuries, which can range from fractures and sprains to death. Unfortunately, the elderly and those with impaired vision are even more susceptible to these forms of incidents.

"As a result, we've enhanced our Indoor and Outdoor StairLighting Kits to offer even greater illumination for each and every stair. Many stair lights focus their beams from the center of the step to the outside ridge. Our new LED fixtures are not only cost-effective and extremely easy-to-install, they target their rays so the vast majority of every step from front to back is bathed in light."

According, to The National Safety Council nearly 12,000 deaths are attributed to stair falls in the United States with half of these fatalities occurring in the home. As a result, stair accidents are second only to automobile accidents as the major cause of unintended injuries in the United States. In addition, the Home Safety Council (HSC) reports that falls account for approximately one-third of all home injury deaths, while falls involving stairs or steps are the number two cause or fall-related deaths.

I-lighting's new Modern LED Stair Lights are available for use as either interior or exterior kits to extend the visibility and safety of stairs located virtually anywhere in or around the home or office. This includes basement and interior staircases, porches and decking that exist in poorly-lit spaces and pose potential tripping and falling hazards.

Each kit has everything necessary for installations including light fixtures with unique LED spotlights, patented plug A into B wiring harness and all fastener accessories necessary for complete installations. The Stairlighting Kit can also be purchased to support installations with or without access to the back of stairs or for spiral, carpeted or wooden stair applications.

Virtually maintenance-free, the system's LED lights are easily attached by simply plugging together each fixture's A into B connectors. Simplicity, cost-effectiveness and longevity are all keys to the system, which also includes a lifetime warranty on the LED bulbs. In addition, each LED light uses approximately 80 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs and is rated for 100,000 hours of operation or 12-plus years if used 24-hours-a-day/seven-days-a-week.
