From Staircase Lighting, Step 6: Test the System
Before final installation, connect and test the electrical components. This includes the LED strip, the LED power supply (transformer), the LED controller, and any motion sensors. Ensure all connections are secure and the correct voltage is supplied. Temporarily power on the system to verify that the LED strip illuminates, the controller functions as expected, and the motion sensors trigger the lights. This pre-check helps identify any wiring issues before everything is permanently mounted.

From Staircase Lighting, Step 7: Conceal Wiring
After all components are tested and confirmed working, proceed with the final wiring and concealment of the power supply, controller, and motion sensors. Route all wiring discreetly behind walls or trim. Mount the power supply and controller in an accessible but hidden location, such as a closet or behind a kick plate. Install the motion sensors at appropriate heights and locations on the stairs to ensure optimal detection. Once all wiring is complete and components are secured, power on the system and enjoy your new integrated staircase lighting.
