A restrained line beneath each tread can bring depth and rhythm to the staircase. The best result starts with the joinery detail.
Stair-tread LED lighting works best when the light is carefully concealed and repeated consistently. Whether your stair is timber, painted or clad, plan the strip position, cable route and service access together. Shop suitable strips below or share your stair measurements for a project quote.

Record the clear lighting length beneath every tread, plus the available recess width and depth. Winders, open ends and landings may differ from the straight steps. Allow for end caps and cable exits in the proposed profile detail. A count of the steps alone is not enough to specify the strip lengths.
Check the detail while looking up from the hall and down from the landing. A strip that looks concealed from above may be visible from below. Use a sample with the intended profile and finish before final fitting. Do not rout structural stair components or place ordinary strip where it will be stepped on without an approved installation detail.
Draw each tread connection and show where cables can be concealed without obstructing fixings. Keep power supplies and controls accessible, and state whether you want simple switching, dimming or sensor operation. Include photos and a tread schedule in your quote request. This accent lighting must not replace required stair, safety or emergency lighting.
Choose the lighting effect first, then check the strip, controls and installation together. These swatches explain the choices; they are not photographs of a product’s light output.
A softer white-light mood. Compare a sample with the materials and other lighting in your room.
Explore warm whiteA more neutral white-light appearance. Check the selected product and test it on the surface you want to light.
Explore natural whiteA cooler white-light appearance. Consider how it works with the room’s finishes and existing lights.
Explore cool whiteChange the white-light tone using compatible CCT controls. The available range depends on the selected strip.
Explore adjustable whiteExplore colour as a decorative layer with a compatible strip and controller. Keep practical task lighting in the scheme.
Explore colourWhat about RGBW? RGBW combines colour with a separate white channel. The white tone and control options depend on the product. Compare RGB and RGBW strip options and check the complete system.
Swatches are illustrative, not exact colour temperatures. Screens, surfaces and installation details change how light appears. Colour availability and suitability vary by selected product.
These products are starting points for sheltered dry indoor accent details. They do not establish a walk-on, structural, safety-lighting or emergency-lighting solution. Check the complete installation with the relevant supplier and installer.
A narrow warm-white strip to assess for compact, concealed joinery recesses.Confirm routing permission, strip instructions and connection clearance; it is not a structural or walk-on stair component. This strip requires soldered connections.

A possible housing beneath supported tread details where the full profile can be concealed.Verify physical clearance and fixings. Do not use this selection as an exposed tread nosing.
View productThese are individual products, not a complete lighting kit or a checked bill of materials. Confirm strip, profile, power, controls, connections and installation requirements together. Product imagery does not identify the products used in the lighting concepts.
Individual runs let you fit each tread accurately. The number of feeds and how the runs connect depend on the chosen strip, cable route and control system, so plan them together.
Do not expose ordinary strip or an unsuitable profile to foot traffic. A walk-on detail requires purpose-designed components and assessment of the whole installation, including the stair surface.
Sequential effects require a specifically compatible controller and wiring arrangement. An ordinary motion sensor does not by itself provide individual step sequencing; include the exact effect in your brief.
Send the number of steps, each lighting length, photos from both ends of the flight, recess dimensions, cable access and your preferred controls. Identify any winders or exposed tread ends.
