At first I thought it was going to look tacky like most LED projects like this, but the corner molding made the difference. Brilliant.

Wow, nice work! Turned a pretty typical looking stairway and hall into a premium feeling environment. Almost like a theater, or a futuristic spaceship interior. With an end result like that, it's hard not to feel tempted to try this. Thanks for sharing, and for the inspiration!

A friend of mine has a similar project. The extra addon is with a raspbery pi conencted to a weather api and the colors change corralated to the current weather. :)

This is exactly the type of tutorial I’ve been looking for! Thank you for the inspiration! Going to try this next week

And I thought "I" was a stickler for perfection. Unbelievably clean job, this is beyond pro level. Thanks for sharing with us.

Wow. Some products that I didn't know existed. Thanks! Two critical comments: 1. Adding the caulk pretty much negates the use of the Command strips. If the lights are removed, the caulk will pull the paper off the drywall. 2. You are indeed programming the controller for the lights. It's all very intuitive with the controller interface, but you ARE programming. Nice result. Thanks for posting.

This looks immaculate! The attention to detail definitely takes it to another level. Worth it 1000%

So happy I came across this! Bought a house a year ago - was searching back then but couldn't find anything that's not too complicated. I lost hope and decided to do it later. I decided to search again today, and was happy to come across ur recent video. A lot of nice ideas, please keep posting!

Very good demonstration! I was a bit hesitant but once I saw you put up the angle board on the metal covers, it looks 100%. Great job.

Explained all of the process well. Including the non perfect fixes and most of all kept the whole video simple. Well done mate!!

This looks super cool. I love the effort to make led strips look more finished and refined.

Chris, that was one of the best step by step flawless tutorials I have seen to this day. And not just the topic, but just excellent teaching & smooth flowing speaking skills.Thank you so much for sharing. I'm now a subscriber

I wasn't sure if I would want to do something like this with my stairs but then I realized it does add a really nice feeling at night to have that nice diffused glow. Dang it, I am gonna have to try this out.

Chris, I've seen a few of your videos now and I'm impressed at how you do the installations, produce the videos and keep the quality in the process. Blessings.

Cool build! Also, loved your WiFi network name. Good stuff 👍

Your narration and explanations are always top notch. You also did a great job making it look tasteful rather than gaudy with the corner moulding Chris. I only wish you would stop finding cooler light manufacturers. I finally got around to using the last cool company and now there an even better one :p

I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time; this tutorial gave me exactly what I needed.

Like many have stated, this came out really nice. Calking and painting the wood trim really brought all of that together. How high off the floor did you run the frame?

Another great video! I think it is your attention to detail that I like the most. I have been sitting on a project to make a motion detected strip light for my stairs but haven't been able to decide how I want to do it. I really like your idea to set them against the wall and point down, then hide it with trim. I wont be using smart devices, just simple plug and play, but this gave me some great ideas to work with. Thanks!

Those yellow grout sponges and a bucket of water do an amazing job at cleaning up caulking. They make a rookie look like a professional.

you truely top yourself with every video you release. You are such an inspiration

Great video. I mounted my lights under the handrail pointing down. It lights up the entire stairway. My stairs lead to a large loft, so no hallway to worry about.

absolutely LOVE IT, turned out really well. it is a result of exactly what I am trying to do. The height above the floor is perfect.

Great job!!! Thank you for taking the time to post the process and end results. You too be blessed!!!

Again, soo sick! We’re moving and our new house will have stairs whereas we don’t right now. I’m ABSOLUTELY doing this once we get settled in 😎 thanks dude

I wondered why anyone would get excited about a brand releasing a product then realised I have those sensors all over my house and I love how easy they integrate with home assistant. That's my Xmas wishlist sorted!

You have been the only channel that I have found that has consistent uploads regarding LEDs and how to set them up and install them. I was so intimidated by wleds and knew nothing about them. Thanks to your channel, I'm now considering a whole house setup lol

as someone who's regularly up at 3-4AM for work a project like this seems great instead of going downstairs using my phone seems like a great thing

Very cool video, well filmed and easy to follow! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

To turn off the LED strip that's better to use single automation with both top motion sensor AND bottom motion sensor detect no motion. And to turn it on use the single automation with both top motion sensor OR bottom motion sensor detect motion.

This corner molding finished this project nicely. Very cool

Your home is turning into a futuristic sci-fi home! Looks fantastic!

Not gonna lie, thought it was gonna look really stupid, but this looks amazing. So much I'm probably gonna do it. Great video

I tend to use the recently introduced LED cob strip's nowadays. ( Chip on board). The light is far more uniform almost like a continuous neon strip, no light and dark spots, very neat, diffuser is optional ,I tend to run just as a strip, it blends into staircase edges seamlessly. Various led count per metre available as is voltage, 12 and 24v. I use 12v in all my projects to keep everything uniform as most controllers, passive, infra red, etc all tend to use 12v. The colour range is pretty extensive, besides white, cool, warm and standard, blues red purples, green and more. The blue looks stunning on stairs, landing and newels. I buy everything direct, I know all the proper LED specialist manufacturers now who supply such as Amazon and the UK lighting industry so I can save a great dealing direct. As an indication I pay around £8 ( $10 US) for a 5 metre length of COB LED which I think is reasonable.

Wow! So cool. You did an great job installing and setting up the lights. The wife and I have been thinking about doing the same. Thanks for sharing this video.

That really looks well at night,perfect because my vision isn't so good,I was thinking of individual lamps,but after looking at you finished product,it's just what I need,thank you for you video💯👍

For sure doing this to my stairs... Maybe this weekend lol

I have not seen another install on UKposts that placed the lights where you did. I like yours better than all the others because there's no glare. Super easy on the eyes, especially at night when it's needed and the illumination is where it's most needed. No hot spots. Cleaning and vacuuming the floor will not be impeded.

This is great, I'd asked a question about staircase lighting in a previous video and this is the solution I was looking for. Keep up the good work Chris.

Top tip: when caulking, keep a sanitizer bucket of warm water with you to keep your fingers wet and to dissolve excess caulk (non-silicone only). Use blue shop towels as well, and for that run you should be able to get away with only using two shop towels.

FYI, those Command strips are only "removeable" if you can access the pull-tab for removal. They will tear up your walls like any other foam tape without that.

Very nice solution to an issue I've been wanting to address for quite a while. Very well explained too.

This came out very nicely. I may do something similar for the stairs in my home. Thank you for sharing!

Bro.....STOP GIVING ME PROJECTS!!!!! 😂 Another great video, thank you for posting.

Looks like a great project and good inspiration 👌🏼 I was wondering if it's possible with this setup to program the light strip in a way, when the top motion sensor is activated, that the lights on the top floor light up and the lights on the stairs light up in a motion (from top to bottom)? And the other way around, so when the bottom motion sensor is activated, the stairs are lighted up first (from bottom to top) and then the upper floor?

Awesome video!! Your super detailed and you gave me confidence in trying this DIY! Thanks!! 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Looks amazing! Would love to try this project at home. Blessings

As always Chris an excellent and easy to understand tutorial, Thanks for your continued work and videos. I hope you are all well 👍🏻

Nice job, but I would have used the caulk on the skirting aswell to fill the gaps you have👍

Love this and thank you for sharing. Very detailed tutorial and I can’t wait to be able to do this in my home. The possibilities are endless.

Looks fantastic Great idea. Thank you for a detailed walkthrough of the whole process.

This man is insane

Clean job!! Looks awesome!

You could have done the same thing to the baseboards (gaps) w/ caulk, but good job overall man.

Another great video, Chris! Have you considered trying out Home Assistant? With this, you can control all your Govee, WLED, and Aqara devices from one interface as well as to setup automations to control the lights based on time, sun position, or triggers from third party devices (motion sensors, door sensors, luminance sensors, etc). I've been running it a couple years and have a lot of my LED accent lights setup with the Adaptive Lighting add-on so that the brightness and color temperature adjusts with the position of the sun throughout the day and into the night as well as being manually controlled with a mix of Zigbee and Z-wave battery powered/mains powered wall switches and scene controllers. The reason why I initially set up Home Assistant in the first place was the annoying practice of having to turn on my Govee immersion lights manually every time I turned on the TV and having to use multiple apps to control everything. It'd probably be some good content for the channel!

Totally doing this when I buy my first home. Looks great !!

It looks high-end. Great job!

Chris! This is exactly the project we were wanting your help with! Our question is how would you get LEDs to light up as you walk up the stairs?

I have to say, cutting channels like these to size was a huge pain when going around corners when I did a gapless installation myself. Additionally the usage of 5V LEDs made the voltage drop very apparent, so I had to splice power in at 4 separate points along my 20m stretch. End result is really nice though and I do recommend the Muzata diffusers as they look super nice

That was awesome. Been wanting to do something for my stairs.

This is so kewl! This is night light upgrade 3.0. Lol. And love how you can connect end pieces fluidly. No gaps at 2:15. That was my biggest deal breaker in terms of using such lighting around or under items. I'm glad this company found a solution to that problem other companies haven't fixed yet.

Chris this looks so great! As a tip you can also use spackle instead of caulking. Much more friendly should you need to take off the channels at any point. Keep up the great work!

now go back and caulk the skirting boards, savage

Looks really clean!

Looks fantastic. Nice job 👏

Bro imagine a ghost walking through the staircase at night . 😂😂🤣🤣

Caulk THEN Paint

U have a blessed day 🙏. Thank you for your time and effort to help make DIY work ez

You are a rockstar. Never stop!

Awesome video as always. A good idea with the caulking is a length of masking tape run your finger through it then peel the tape off I recently tried it and it gives a really nice finish. You've given me many good ideas to try thank you for your content

What a good looking nicely executed project. What a great system, I was lost with the myriad of LEDs, you introduced me to features I didn’t know to look for

That was an awesome project! Nicely Done!

Loved this tutorial! So well done!

Dude… project is insane! 💯 awesome vid as always!

This video just changed my life!!!!! Thanks!!!

Wow this looks really nice! I want to do this in my garage.

God blessed you with a talent, amazing!

looks great. I have that exact carpet color. I am going to try this one.

That’s amazing! Congrats!!!

Using this exact setup for when in finish my basement. This is awesome.

So cool and it came out great looking. I 100 percent want to try this.

Wow the office looks like dream man great work on that

I hope you have a blessed day too 😊🙏

That looks really nice! I was t sure when I seen u was putting it up further on the wall but I really like it.. it’s almost like a chair rail

Great job. Video edit and production as well as installation and explaination. Excellent

Bruh! One of your best ones yet... Keep the inspiration coming, thank you 👏

Just found your channel. Great work. Thank you for all the detailed info!

I've been breaking my head how to do this for my stairs. Hopefully it I will go as smooth as you made it seem thank you

This is top notch explenation and DIY tutorial. If I wanted to do something like this I would have opted for routing that wooden handrail and inserting aluminium housing beneath it with LED facing downwords.

Nice job dude! Really like your OCD tricks!

really enjoyed this i dont watch a lot of diy vids but really got something from this!!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the videos. I did your Govee loutdoor lights and now I needed this.

No way someone can watch this and not subscribe! Great video!

I’m saving this video for whenever I get my house 🤞🏾

Great instructional video. Thank you.

This looks fantastic! Got my next project.

The LED master. Really excellent video. The end result is amazing.

Very neat setup. Makes my single stair strip look a mess. I've got some work to do!

Great job! Looks great
