Step 6 · Install Stair Lighting (Optional)

Plan the placement of your LED strip lights. Typically, they are placed just above the riser on the tread nosing or along the stringer. Cut the LED strip to length as needed. Clean the surface where the lights will be adhered thoroughly. Adhere the LED strip lights, connecting them to their power source and transformer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all wiring is neatly managed and secured, ideally concealed within the staircase structure or along its edges. Test the lights to ensure they function correctly.
