I used a kit of plinth/skirting leds that I think screwfix sell?? Light the treads beautifully without causing any glare or excess light in the room they run out of😁

Ours are manually switched but you could rig a PIR to auto switch the power to the PSU.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285875#Comment_285875 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285875#Comment_285875 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 13:35:00 +0000 revor

Looks really neat but at close to £700 for the kit will look for further examples.

Compared to the Screwfix ones looks v dear but a lot of the cost is in the control unit. Will need to decide what level of sophistication I need.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285878#Comment_285878 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285878#Comment_285878 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 15:39:26 +0000 GreenPaddy

Buy enough length of LED tape (choose the right "warmth" colour and the number of LED's per meter and brightness). Cut the tape to required lengths, say 900mm per tread, and solder the tape to 2 core tails (daisy chained), run up the stringer similar Philedge above. Check the transformer power required versus your choice of LED tape. Might need to go for 2 transformers, as something sticks in my mind about a limit to the length of tape you can feed (maybe a max current the LED's can see??). Can't recall exactly. I did this a few years ago for the underside of kitchen work surfaces.

Ceiling/wall mounted occupancy sensors (foot and head of stair) can do the switching. Discrete unit like this maybe??

Plug connectors from eBay if you don't want to solder

RGB tape if you want cool white in the daytime and warm white in the evening (or disco colours at Xmas)]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285882#Comment_285882 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285882#Comment_285882 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 17:11:44 +0000 djh

Amazon can be cut after the product ID - www.amazon etc product-description product-id garbage
Anything can be cut before a google ID and usually right back to the query whatever.com whatever ?gclid=garbage

As to why, well apart from making things neater, it helps fight google's tracking at least a little bit.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285897#Comment_285897 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=16862&Focus=285897#Comment_285897 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 11:26:40 +0000 WillInAberdeen https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FR8DZZJ
