Lights with no drilling for a rented landing and stairs
Wiring: none — every one plugs in or runs on a battery. Fixing: no drilling — they stand on a table or floor, or stick or hook on. 4 lights with no drilling for a landing and stairs: median price £192, from £129 to £1,066.
Plug-in and rechargeable lights don’t touch the building, so there is nothing to ask your landlord.
Changing a fixed light is usually fine in a private tenancy, but there’s no single national rule — check your tenancy agreement.
Changing a fixed light needs your landlord’s written consent — though they can’t unreasonably refuse.

Why no ceiling pendants here
A ceiling pendant connects to a ceiling point and screws to the ceiling. As a renter, that needs an electrician and possibly your landlord’s consent. If you already have a ceiling point and permission, see pendants by ceiling height.
