How to make a room lighter without cutting through a window
In your case, there are at least two ways to solve the problem. Both can do without repairs, but will require some financial investment. But not only will they make the stairs safe for walking, but they will also decorate the interior.

Light tunnel
This is a special design that allows the room to be provided with daylight not through vertical windows, but through a dome or roof window built into the roof.
As can be seen from the above picture, the design consists of the following elements:
- Built-in roof dome. Some companies, for example, Danish Velux, instead of a dome install an external module in the form of a usual dormer-window;
- Reflective pipes - flexible corrugated or rigid;
- Ceiling lamp with a light diffuser, due to which light is evenly distributed over the entire area.
At your request, the manufacturer can mount an electric lamp for night lighting and a ventilation system in the tunnel. The diameter of the ceiling is 35 or 55 cm. One light tunnel is enough to illuminate a room with an area of 9-10 sq.m. Moreover, the quality of lighting does not depend on the weather - even with high cloud cover it is comparable to the amount of light from a standard electric lamp.
Conductive panels
If there is an electrical outlet in a room with a stairwell, its lighting can be solved very originally, while decorating the interior unusual design. Hang the DIPLINE conductive panel on the wall.
This is a sandwich panel about 2 cm thick made of polyurethane with two conductive layers, the structure of which allows you to place LEDs or bulbs on it anywhere. The size of the panels is 1.2x2.5 meters, like a standard drywall sheet, they can be joined together or cut to obtain the desired area.
To power the panel, a step-down transformer for 12 or 24 volts and a special connector are required.
Bulbs and LEDs are placed anywhere in the panel, they can be rearranged by changing the pattern or ornament, each time making a fresh note in the interior design.
