What happens in this clip
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.

About the full video
This project involves installing custom LED strip lighting along the base of a staircase wall. It includes preparing the surface by removing old trim, securely attaching an LED channel, installing the LED strip and its diffuser, painting the channel to blend with the wall, and connecting the necessary electrical components like a power supply and motion sensors for an aesthetically pleasing and functional lighting solution.
Step 7 of 7: Conceal Wiring
Once you have confirmed the system is working correctly, neatly route and secure all wires. Use cable clips, raceways, or conduits to hide the wiring along the walls, under the stairs, or behind baseboards. The goal is to create a clean, professional look and prevent tripping hazards.
