The purpose of the space is for circulation throughout the building as well as safety because it is a fire stairwell.
The purpose of the lighting fixtures in the space are ambient and they provide a proficient amount of light for egress.
To improve the lighting in the space I would suggest that the landings of each level in the stairwell are brighter so it clarifies where each floor is, instead of the whole stairwell being a consistent brightness the whole way through.
