Stair controllers (automatic stair lighting)

Create a unique comfort, increase safety and add a modern futuristic look to your home with automatic stair controllers. These are smart devices that control LED stair lighting, reacting to human movement and cascading (step by step) turning on the light before each step.

Our catalog presents a wide range of stair controllers - from simple standalone control units to multifunctional systems with the ability to integrate into the "Smart Home" (Zigbee, Tuya, Wi-Fi).

How does the SVL stair lighting controller work?

The system consists of the main controller, two motion sensors (which are installed on the first and last steps) and LED strips (SMD or COB) embedded under each step or in a profile along the wall.

• Motion detection: When you approach the stairs from above or below, the sensor detects movement.
• Smooth cascade: The controller sequentially and smoothly turns on the lighting of each step one after another in the direction of your movement.
• Delay and fading: After you have passed the stairs, the light also smoothly and alternately turns off.
• Light sensor: Thanks to the built-in or external photo sensor, the system is only operational in the dark or in insufficient light, which saves electricity.

Advantages of using SVL stair controllers

• 24/7 security: No more searching for a switch in the dark. The stairs are softly illuminated exactly when needed.
• Aesthetics and spectacular design: Step-by-step light deployment creates a premium interior look and impresses guests.
• Energy efficiency: The light works only when the stairs are in use, and the use of LED strips guarantees minimal current consumption.
• Flexibility of settings: Most models allow you to adjust the speed of turning on the steps, brightness (dimming), delay time and alternate backlight mode (when the first and last steps are slightly illuminated constantly).

What are the types of controllers for stairs?

1. By the number of channels (steps): The most popular models are designed for 16, 24, 32 or 40 channels. The number of channels corresponds to the maximum number of steps that one unit can control.
2. By type of control:

• Standard (Mono): For single-color LED strips (white warm, neutral or cold light).
• SPI (Addressable): For addressable LED strips, allowing you to create complex color effects and a smooth light wave along the entire length of the stairs.
• Smart / Wi-Fi / Zigbee: Controllers with the ability to control via smartphone, support for scenarios and voice assistants (Google Home, Amazon Alexa).
