I was researching stair lights a few months back for my basement, there are so many options across many websites, after a few days, I gave up. I don’t have any ceiling lighting leading to my basement, while it’s not dangerous to walk down, it’s a bit dark. These KOMIGAN stair lights is EXACTLY what I needed! It had everything I wanted, motion activated, the strips are thin enough to fit in the the gap left by the stair caps.Before you order these, you want to make sure you have access to underneath the stairs you want to install these on, because thats where all the wiring will be. You will have 1 wire on each step connected to the controller. Overall, the kit is not difficult to install and if you’re handy, you can handle it. The instructions could be better, the QR codes on the instructions takes you to the videos on Amazon. Here are the steps I took:1. Lay everything out, determine how many lights you will need. I needed 13, the kit comes with 16 lights.2. Measure the width of your steps and cut the light strips to that width. I cut mine about 1” shorter than the width of my steps so there’s room to tick the wire into the hole I drill. I also have stair caps that hides the light strip, so unless you look under stair cap, you won’t notice it’s a bit shorter.3. To cut the strips to length, I first opened the plastic cover, used a mat knife to peel the LCD strip up and cut where the scissor icon is (on the gold ovals ). Lay the strip back into the channel, put plastic cover back on and cut. I found the most effective tool to cut was a hacksaw with a miter box, each cut took less than 1 minute. An oscillating tool didn’t work, too much vibrating. Then I used a file to clean up the sharp edges a bit, and finally, put the plastic end cap back on.4. Using the included number stickers, number the wires on both ends, it can prove to be helpful. Each step, starting from the bottom is plugged into the corresponding number on the controller.5. Position the strip where you plan to mount it and find a good spot to drill a hole for the wire to run through. I used a 1/4” drill but that worked great.6. Mounting, I tried using the clips, but when I tried to clip the light in, the clips bent. After trying for 10 minutes to get the clips to work, I gave up and took the easy route, using the double sided tape. When I was trying to install the clip, I needed a 90 degree attachment with my cordless drill.7. Drill all your holes, mount all your lights strips, feed wire through hole.8. Install motion sensors - I was able to use a 3/4” drillbit, just had to move it around a bit to get the hole slight bigger then 3/4 (manual calls for 20mm hole).9. Plug all the long wires you had labeled to the short pigtail from each strip. Make sure 1 goes to spot 1 on the controller, 2 to 2 etc. otherwise your lights won’t turn on or turn off in order.10. Connect the controller to the power supply and connect the wall cord to the power supply (blue to L, Brown to N and Green to ground).Additional tipsAdditional notes1. Before purchasing, make sure there is space behind each step you plan to install LED strip on. For example, the riser of my top step has a 2x6 directly behind it, so I probably won’t be able to wire that step.2. After installing lights, you will see every speck of dust and hair on each step!3. Caulk holes that were drilled for the wires after for a finished look.4. The metal clips are not very good quality, they seemed to bend easily. Hopefully the 3M double sided tape that came with it holds5. The plastic clips used to connect the short wire to the long wire doesn’t seem too tight, it’s possible they can inadvertently get disconnected.6. Would be nice if the lights can be dimmed more, even at its lowest setting, it’s bright.Update:After several months of using, I have no issues with these lights. The double sided tape is holding the up perfectly. They look fantastic, friends and family often asks about them. One of the best items I’ve received from Vine!

I love how these lights will turn on when they sense motion on my stairs. I did have to call my handyman to come install them because this was beyond my pay grade. I just could not figure them out. But let me tell you I absolutely love the end result. No more walking up or down dark stairs at night. The lights are one of those things that you tell yourself why didnt I do this sooner.

I saw this motion sensor stair light at a friend’s house. I was shocked at the first time. The effect is really great. Especially for stairs with very dark lighting, it is really convenient.So I also tried to buy this set of stair lights and install them myself. At the beginning, I really didn’t know how to start. The installation video provided with the product was of great help to me.The ratio between the width of the stairs and the light strips should be adjusted well. You can first compare it with one to determine the position left on both sides or how wide the light strip you want to install. After determining one piece, the others can be of this length.How to hide the power box and controller. If there is space or storage room under the stairs, then they can be installed under the stairs. Because my home is like this, it is very convenient.Its overall installation and setup are not too difficult. But it definitely takes time to do. However, the final effect is really very good. Now, when we go up and down the stairs at night, we don’t need to turn on the lights. And the 3000K light is bright but not dazzling.

After a few minutes of working, the system got stuck on constantly cascading on and off. The panel seems stuck and none of the buttons do anything.

Once I got over the intimidation, this was easy to install and is much safer now that my stairs are lit without having to fumble for the light switch that's only at the bottom.

These intelligent motion sensor, cascade, and style LED stair lights look awesome. They do take some time to install, but the kit comes with everything you need. It comes with 16 aluminum LED light strips that are about 35 inches long. It has a rating of 3000 K which is about a warm white color (yellow). When they are all set up, these look so cool as they light up one by one. I do wish I had an option to change the white color temperatures but these are great safety features, especially in the middle of the night.

I'm a huge fan of motion sensored, well, anything, and who wouldv'e thought they'd come...for the stairs. Well, the era is here and these are a pretty nice set to...step up (sorry, just. Sorry)...your game. These are bright, responsive and very easy to setup, with the advantage of having the led's setup in tracks, so you don't need to much help trying to hide them. The controller is a bit hard to read in bright light, but in darker settings, you won't have any issues. There's enough cord to play around with the locations of the power supply, controller and strips themselves. The speed, duration, and brightness settings are all very well done. My only small criticism would be the reading of the controller when changing the settings. Some of the led's are a little hard to read, but a few times interacting with it and you'll get the hang of it. The future is here. Bring it in with some cool lighting game for your steps!

I love that these are motion activated. It is a great way to see if someone has been near the stairs and they light up the steps as you use them. This is great at night as it saves your night vision and allows you to see where you are stepping. I like the warm light and I think that these should be standard every place that has stairs.
