CIBSE Guidelines, LG09 Chapter 3 looks at the general aspects of lighting in communal buildings:
Entrance Lobby
Entrance Halls and lobbies should be lit at around 200 lux and provide a welcoming atmosphere. Often in use 24/7 and a high traffic area, LED luminaires provide a cost effective lighting solution. Colour temperature is an important factor, warm white is generally recommended in residential buildings. A combination of direct ceiling luminaires and indirect lighting such as wall uplighters will provide shadow-free ambient illumination and good vertical illuminance.
