Use 24V SMD 2835 or COB strip in aluminum channels on each step. Wire each step in parallel (not series). Use a motion sensor for automatic night lighting.
The Right Strip for Stairs
For stairs, use 24V strip in aluminum channels. The channel protects the strip and looks professional. 3000K warm white is standard.
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Voltage | 24V |
| Wattage | 10-15W/m |
| CCT | 3000K |
| Control | Motion sensor + dimmer |
| Wiring | Parallel per step |
Wiring Each Step Correctly
Wire each step in parallel from a central junction box. Do not daisy-chain step to step. Parallel wiring means one step failing does not kill the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wire stair LED strips in series?
No. Parallel wiring is required. Series causes voltage drop and early steps are brighter than late ones.
