The black aluminium profile protects the strip from feet rubbing against it and keeps the line perfectly straight.

At 24 V, the transformer is tucked away nearby, under the landing or in a cupboard. At 220 V, the connection is made to the mains. In both cases, switch off the power at the breaker and check the connections are tight before switching back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFixing the LED strip without damaging the step\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust and degrease the underside of the step, fit the aluminium profile, then unroll the strip without bending it.

If the living room or entrance is at 2700 K, the strip keeps the same tone; in a kitchen, 3000 K makes the worktop easier to read. One single family of white in the field of view, and the whole stays consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich light colour for the living room when the staircase leads into it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStay within one family: 2700 K for a living room that feels warm in the evening, 3000 K if the room also serves as a passage. An RGB or RGBW strip lets you vary without changing the light fitting.

The delay is set to the actual climbing time: too short, the light goes out halfway; too long, it stays on for nothing. The brightness threshold prevents it switching on during the day. These three settings are made once, then checked from time to time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCleaning and making the LED strip last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dry cloth on the strip and on the sensor lens is enough.
