I’ve been looking at various stair lighting options and wanted something that had a motion-sensing feature. My initial plan was to install GU10 fixtures along the wall and use GU10 smart bulbs connected to a wireless motion sensor. However, this idea did not work as desired, as the smart bulbs would randomly reset and require repairing. I also had intermittent issues with the motion sensor connectivity, so it was back to the drawing board.This set of stair lights seemed a much better choice, given the LED strip lights, controller and motion sensors are all integrated (and wired). Most of the kit is plug-and-play, so installation is reasonably straightforward. I’m not confident with mains electricity, so an electrician connected the power supply. The LED strips come with 3m tape to stick on, but out of the many LED strips I have installed, all have come unstuck at some point. I now use an aluminium profile for LED tape as it’s guaranteed to stay in place and looks much better. In this case, I have also carved out a channel within each step overhang so the profile slots neatly inside. It looks great.The system has so far worked well. My stairs look fantastic, and it’s always great to wow my guests with them. The cascading effect looks amazing and works in both directions.Highly recommended!

Speakeasy Basement Lights 10/10!!!
We ordered the 16 step option. Iâm so happy with this purchase. Before getting the lights I was worried they would look cheesy or cheap and they make our basement look so much nicer and donât look cheap at all. The motion sensor on the top and bottom of the stairs is great. Theyâre bright lights that let you easily walk up and down the stairs even if the overhead lights are completely off. I would happily pay twice as much as theyâre charging for these results.

I purchased this product as my partner is losing her sight and needs good lighting on the stairs. We had some problems in the beginning where a power surge blew the controller, so had to contact Komigan directly for help. You can call or text their number on their website or use the chat facility (early in the morning, due to time zone difference). Their customer service is fantastic, they are so helpful and want you to be successful in the installation so that you are 100% happy with the result. They sent out a replacement controller and strip lights and now the lights work perfectly, actually better than i imagined. They look AMAZING!!!! The motion sensor is such a good feature, now we don’t have to worry about lights being left on. The brightness can be adjusted to any level and the different settings on the controller mean you can adjust speed and time delays to suit your needs. The quality is superb. We are so happy with this purchase and their website has more of the individual items, which are not available on Amazon, for example strips light with aluminium casing (light bar) so you don’t have to buy them separate. There is a lot of wiring needed, so i’m pleased this was carried out by my electrician who has tidied the cables under the stairs and made a box to cover the power supply. If you need a quality staircase lighting kit, this is the one to go for. It has everything you need to make it a success. The video i have uploaded shows the lights at 50% brightness. My electrician was so impressed, he said he would be using them for jobs from now on.

Installation with a finished closet under the stairs (Detailed)
This is a great addition to our stairway that makes a 180 degree turn. We often slowly navigated the stairs at night without turning the lights on to avoid waking everyone or even after dark when carrying things like laundry and not able to switch the lights on with hands full. This solved that dangerous issue. It also adds a cool, modern touch – people love it. Now, there are many reviews you can read, but I didn’t see any that addressed a situation like ours where we had a finished closet under our stairway. Most every review stated that you need access to the unfinished underside of your stairs. This is largely true for most people – but I happen to have years of experience doing electrical work in finished homes and have learned to get wires almost anywhere. What I did is obviously possible, but it’s not for the average DIYer. The point is to show that it CAN be done if you really want it. Now it also helped that I did this as part of a re-tread project where we removed carpet and installed new hardwood treads. But our staircase was prefabricated and the steps and risers could not be removed. So, I cut the bullnose off each original pine tread and laid new hardwood treads over it. I had to cut the bullnose off to keep the tread depths uniform and code compliant. I left a small space where the LEDs would be hidden. Our staircase is typical to a split-level home. It rises 7 steps to a landing where you turn 180 degrees and then take an additional 7 steps to the top. Under the stairs is a finished coat closet that serves the first floor. Knowing home construction, I first built a small door through the lower back of the closet, revealing a sizeable space we use as storage for Christmas and other seasonal decorations. This space provides access to the underside of the landing and the first 7 steps. The top 7 steps are over the sheetrocked closet of which there is no access without cutting holes in it, which we wanted to avoid. Typical installation is to drill the LED tails straight back through the stair riser and into the rear, unfinished side of the stairs. I used that technique for the first 7 steps I had underside access to. For the stairs over the closet, I used some knowledge and technique to drill the LED lights through the side of the steps and into the studded bay. I inserted pull strings and then drilled holes for each light UP into the bays from underneath the landing. I then fished out each string and pulled the LED wires out. Drilling the bays required a specialized 36 inch long 3/8″ drill bit, since the slope of the staircase required longer reaches into the bays (one of my photos show these holes after the wire was fished out. One hole was drilled for each LED to ensure they didn’t get tangled when fishing them). Don’t forget to run a wire for each motion sensor – one at the bottom step and the other at the top step. This is what activates the LEDs as you approach the stair from either top or bottom. The system “knows” and lights the LEDs from the location you approach. Make sure you take a few minutes to plan out which lengths of LED wires you use for each step. I purchased the 16 LED kit and it has (8) 5-meter lengths and (8) 8-meter lengths. The lengths you use on each stair depends on where the controller is located. Carrying over from my past days in the field, it was important to me to neatly and professionally route all the wiring. I saw too many reviews and YT videos that had a jumble of wire laying on the floor or hastily coiled up since no one can see it. That’s a no-go with me. I left a small “service loop” near each connector then bundled, strapped and routed each wire along the staircase and fished them into the bay of the wall where I decided to put the controller. I put the controller in the finished closet where it can be secure, yet easily accessible. I had an old metal enclosure that was perfect for the controller and power supply. While I was under the staircase, I tapped a receptacle serving the living room and installed a receptacle under the controller. My personal installation notes: The LED strips can be cut to fit the width of your treads, but the cut MUST be made through any of the gold 12V terminal markings along the strip (see photo). Use a sharp set of snips to cut it, as you want the cut to be clean and sharp. Once cut, they cannot be extended. As for fastening the LED strips: I peeled the adhesive backing from the strips but also lightly dotted the strips with gorilla glue as I pulled it taught and pressed them into place. My reasoning for not gluing the entire length was first it didn’t need that much and second in case I ever need to replace one, it would come off with some effort but not be a massive undertaking. My new treads have a square bullnose and these strips lay behind it. I positioned it this way so the LEDs on the higher steps don’t glare in your eyes when activated. The light just falls onto each step to light your way. When you’re terminating each wire onto the controller, make sure you insert them in the order of each step (1st step, 2nd step, 3rd step, etc.) If you decide to “cascade” them, the LEDs will be activated in the order they were terminated. If they’re out of order it will ruin the effect. If you’re having them turn on simultaneously, it wouldn’t matter – but no matter what, I would personally ensure they are in order – that’s just how I am. Don’t forget to also run a wire for the daylight sensor. This should be facing normal ambient room light and will prevent the LEDs from activating during the day. You can opt not to install this and the LEDs will simply light anytime you use the stairs. In summary, this is a cool and very functional system. It entails a lot of planning and intricate wire running and frankly may not be worth it to some. Installations where you have complete access to the underside of your steps are a no brainer and easy to do. Mine was definitely more challenging for most, but I happen to have the resources and skill set to do it, so all in it was just a weekend worth of work for me. NOTE: I purchased this item on Amazon for full price and have no affiliation to the seller. I try to write helpful, unbiased and insightful reviews because I also read reviews prior to making my own buying decisions. I notice many reviews lack helpful information, are too brief and don’t support their opinions with examples. Writing useful reviews helps pay it forward.

Great product
These stair lights are terrific. A game changer for my dark stairway to/from my 2nd floor. Installation was easy. Took an about 2 hours for me. Skills required are basic for anyone handy with basic DIY work (youâll need Phillips head screw driver, a drill with a 1/4â bit and, depending on the sensor mounting choice, a 13/16â spade bit (a 3/4â will work with some rocking to get the hole slightly larger)). Youâll also need access to the underside of your stairs for the wiring. Watch the helpful videos on Amazon for installation and configuration. I got the version with the âtapeâ LED lights. These have the lowest profile and can be cut to the required length (pretty much anything up to 40â). I have wood steps, so mounting with adhesive was not an issue, but the fixed length light bar models might be a better option if adhesive mounting wonât work (i.e., carpet on stair treads).

Everyone who sees it is going to want one
This is so neat – EVERYone who sees it want to know how to do it! It was easy to install, and has worked flawlessly ever since. Motion sensors both work well, and setting it up so the lights cascade up or down depending on which sensor is tripped just delights people
