Link in my Amazon Store or Bio to the stair lights. Another reason to have access under the stairs. Adding this feature to an existing house will be much easier with the ability to get under the stairs. An essential buy if you’re in the process of having a new home built. I thought these stair tread lights were crazy expensive but after seeing the post Sean shared in my Facebook group, I was shocked.

All fun and games until your stairs light up in the middle of the night for no reason
Can't install them in haunted mansions...
I have motion sensor LEDs at my stairs and sometimes they light up when I know nobody else is at home. Sure feels freaky...
@@Munakas-wq3gp Probably just a ghost of a past pet...
@@tygrahof9268 My mothers house has actual ghosts. You can hear footsteps or running upstairs when nobody else is home. One night I was house keeping there with my ex wife when we heard clearly someone running upstairs. I went to check, nobody was there and motion sensor lights were not activated...
Awww. Hell no
200 dollars for some lights? It's disgusting how over priced these are 😂
Finally someone said it.
Rip off 🗑
Right, when is something disgusting for being "affordable" in this case expensive imo. But if you wanted it, $200 is worth the price for not having to program them yourself to light in sequence. So overpriced for most, but possibly worth depending how much you like.
@@gyp.1 lightbulb on the ceiling at the half of that stairset is more than enough to light at night. seems like they invested all that for the sake of having that design and glow under each staircase
You must be a broke ass
Whats disgusting is pretending you're not advertising a product
Yup. This is an especially weird product considering how basic it is. Can't imagine it being difficult at all to make it by yourself for like $20.
@@PingSharpi can't make it but i dont want need one
@@PingSharp
You’ve probably never bought an RGB strip before, or literally anything lmao.
A lunch costs $20, much less a stairwell lighting system.
And lol by that logic toilet paper is a useless product because you can just wipe your ass with your sock right?
@@outrun7455 classical strawman fallacy. And LED lights cost far less than 20 bucks, so does the programming part. You don't need a raspberry pie in order to get this working
@@outrun7455not really since it wouldnt be as practical. Whereas a damn normal light is more practical than that to install
It's disgusting how subversive advertisers are nowadays
Instead of those lights my man needs a broom.
It’s under construction
He's an electrician, brooms are against their code of ethics
😂
Yeah electricians don’t know what a broom is I complain every safety meeting to the General contractor but nothing gets done
Of more concern are the OSHA and building code violations with the missing fence and handrail.
It's disgusting how cheap a lightbulb in the ceiling is
My condo has no lights in it other than the ones in the rooms that have sinks and then also the closets but none in any of the living room or bedrooms wtf?
@@bland9876That is very weird
@@plantbasedunicorn7995 ya there's also a lot of light switches that turn off the outlets for some reason. Very annoying.
I think technology connections has a video on it.
1. Its not overhead and only exactly where you need it.
2. It turns off on its own so you don't need to worry about wiring up a dual lightswitch set up.
So for installation and usage, they're not that different. It might even be easier if you have access under the stairs to wire it in that an overhead light.
It is disgusting
GET THIS MAN A BROOM 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
imagine buying expensive LEDs instead of a railing or anything that could actually make the stairs more safe and less confusing
Or a broom to clean up b4 you record a video
...the stairs aren't finished yet
Anyone with cats would be having a stair disco at 3:00 am every morning.

If you program it yourself you might be able to set it up to only activate under a certain height or weight.
@@dr.memerdemener1475or just put up the sensor higher
@@damanchur604we're doing it already with the sun.
My one cat would just meow loudly and like he’s dying because of the new thing… at 3am
That wiring job is what's disgusting, the lights are pretty cool though, kinda uneccessary
Yeah, cord management needed!
And you can set it up your self easily , 200 is ridiculous
I don’t understand the point of this, so it lights up at the last minute when you’ve already stepped in front of it? Great
@@TonyCox1351 it also lights up the stairs in front of you so you can see them , but in that case just put the lights on , I imagine these lights get annoying
@@TonyCox1351the point is to stick it to your neighbor that your lawn is greener, tv is bigger, your wife is skinnier and you have cooler lights
When he started with how cheap they were, i thought he was going to show the stairs themselves collapsing under him.
I thought it was the price of the stairs.
Most people should do their research.This isn't a good product.
A bunch of cheap LEDs that'll start flickering within a month
they probably last about 50,000 hours, considering they are only on with motion sensor, thats longer than you will live in the home.
@@S30Buildthat’s only 5.7 years and if you got dogs or cats or gonna wear more
@TheRealCozy 5.7 years if they are on 24 hr/day. Lets say they are on all the time like you suggested...how much is the replacement led...like 15 bucks lol
@@TheRealCozy and still longer than the avg person lives in a home.

200 is far from cheap. The lie is what's disgusting
Now it's closer to $300 and yeah no kidding working for hand to mouth pay 300 is the difference between eating and keeping up on rent or living out on tge street and as a result becoming unable to work.
200 for 16. That’s pretty fair if you know how much lights cost.
@@darylmartin6989LED is pretty cheap to produce yk
$200 for a stair's worth of lighting is dirt cheap. How about get a job?
I don't think that $200 is that much for 16 led lights with a sensor, try to found other stair lights and you'll see how expensive they are.
Orrrr (hear me out) - save $200 and use the damn lightswitch like a normal person. Those cords are awful to look at, and harsh LED lights make a home too "sanitized" - like a hospital.
NO ONE should do this. Its dumb.
$200 to burn my house down with cheap Chinese led sounds like someone pushing their amazon store with Alibaba led's
Like everything else ain't made in china
LEDs run cold compared to old light bulbs with metal filaments?
@@msjkramey lol right
@@scubasteve2132 they do. Part of what made them so popular was their higher efficiency, which comes from a lower loss of energy to heat rather than light

You need to light your staircase. That's not negotiable. This is expensive if it's cheap crap but if it actually is properly rated quality controlled stuff it's extremely cheap and the tech has the potential to last many decades while costing practically nothing to run.
My only question is their reliability. How long do the bulbs and sensors last.
Should last as long as your puny insignificant life
About 30 minutes
They're LED lights so they should last pretty long.
@@nriqueogthey should but they don’t
They last until you accidentally kick them going up the stairs.
Nope. One bulb and the entire stairs is illuminated. Costs less, less wiring, easier yo install, easier to repair, trued and tested and unaffected by trends.
manufacturer cost $2
10 middle men cost $198
What's disgusting is how dirty the place is.

It's disgusting how one single lightbulb on the ceiling with a sensor installed can completely render these stair lights useless.
K but it’s about the vibes not purely the function
@@eyeamwemaFr everyone gotta say something about everything these days man where the vibe at
Bingo!
It's super convenient for having to go downstairs in the middle of the night. I for one hate bright lights when I'm half awake but need a glass of water.
The trouble with nonstandard lighting is that replacing burned out lights turns into a headache. Looks good until it goes dark.
Remember when cars were fitted with mandatory lights? They cost near nothing. Yeah government interference blah blah. Now if you get into an accident the LED headlight alone can set you back a cool $1000…
Grandmas deadass gonna have heart attack, thinking their time has come 😂
It's disgusting how cheap those stairs look.
The stairs are factored into the $200 price tag. 😂
Dirty too
They're clearly not finished?
Wouldn't it be simpler and more effective to have a few lights suspended from the wall or ceiling that are motion light it seems more cost effective and practical.
Honestly it's really relaxing having led light under your furniture and stairs. Plus you don't have to have lights in directly in your vision just the glow. Easy to see what you stepping also. Not under your car though, unless your illegally street drifting, than it's kinda necessary for some reason. Makes your car go faster, I guess.
No. It's about having sci-fi stairs, Larrym Johnson.. 😅
Elon Musk didn't invent that yet, wait for the next patch.
@@JakePlisskin12 That's true! Not only do those lights make your car go faster, but they also make your drifting smoother. It's science! 🤣😂
Of course it would be more practical. Yet theae are for looks, and style.
Who wants a basic home if you can afford things like this for the ambiance?
There are newly released solar lights that can work off of lower ambient light. Think calculator solar panels. Much more efficent. I wonder if they could collect enough power to light them up for the night, since they only come on when you walk up or down. Dont have to deal with batteries or that ugly wiring.
Great for catching late night food thieves and late night snuck outs
Tbh they are too bright I don’t want it to be so bright that it fully wakes me up when I go to get a glass of water
lol at first when he said it was disgusting i thought he was talking about the stairs
I know, do people just say that for clickbait?
Thats kinda the gimmick for clicks and views. The throw up emogi, and $200.. he got us good. Bait and switch. Clickbate.
Wow! Electrician did a good dob sweeping those stairs!
Post work clean up is their specialty lol
Lololol
why not just put a $20 motion light up. It will light up the stairs much better.
Made it look like the stairs were $200 but it's actually the lights that are $200. I'm putting your channel on my block list.
Just imagining being woken by my cats having a blast with 2am zoomies. My little battery motion light is bad enough, but necessary to keep from misstepping with the baby.
EPILEPTICS BEWARE!!!!!!!! THEY BREAK SOOO EASY…. Causing them to blink rapidly without warning and can stay like that for hours on end…..I was house sitting for my sister who had these on her steps and they were broken and blinking for hours ,thankfully my daughter (who is 23) was with me because it triggered a seizure and I had to be hospitalized
No way. Did she fall down stairs
As a person who lives in a house where weird things happen at night I don't think I could try to go downstairs and all of a sudden see the lights coming upward
Considering each of those led strips cost less than a dollar on Chinese websites. 200 bucks for 14 of them and a simple controller is not disgustingly cheap, it’s actually disgustingly over priced
As a mechanical engineer with a focus on mechatronics, I can tell you that this electronics timing design could be built in less than a day on a simple breadboard and the electronics to control lighting would cost no more than $20 (high estimate). You can definitely DIY this for a lot less than $200. The lights would be the biggest expense.
Ive designed various LED programming timers and they are incredibly simple. This is a waste of money.
First thing I thought was 555 ic, but I'm old.
If you're good at something,
Never do it for free.
This could very well be $200 if you buy good quality lights. Cheap lights won’t fade smoothly and will jump off instead of an even fade. I do stage lighting and I have experience with cheap lights. Don’t waste your money on them
but then I would have to do the work myself 👉👈😭
You can damn well bet I'm dancing to Billie Jean once its installed 😂
😂😂
Just don't invite her over if she's not your lover! 😂
Horror movies gonna be lit with these stairs
$200 is cheap? IDK man, an overhead light in the stairwell is a lot cheaper. Oh wait, it's an advertisement.... lol.
$200 is a LOT of money for many people! I was wondering about that mass of wires lying near/beneath the steps; is this mess a part of this lighting system?
$200 is NOTHING for anyone building a home.
there will be no cable mess once it’s all properly managed…

...they go out windows boomer.
The factor is probably the price point...considering how cheap I'm gonna guess that they will wear out rather quickly. There are better alternatives with less parts out there. Even cheaper I think as well. So folks out there...do some research before you buy anything.
Doing research would have told you that LEDs plus a circuit board doesn't equal 200 dollars. Probably cost the manufacturer 2$ at max.
@@masoncomes6783 2$ for the led + controller? bro you living in the 70s.
@@ddjohnson9717 well when you mass produce everything in China it's cheap. The LEDs are literally pennies and at wholesale from a supplier it's probably less than a penny. The circuit is also pretty basic and can be made in Chinese chip factories for dirt cheap. It's valued at 200$ because people here think it's worth 200$.
Total manufacturing cost around $20 if made in china.
Have to factor in the moldings for the plastic.
I see a lot of people dissing these, but honestly 200 for this doesn't seem too bad for what you get. Then again I'm Canadian, soooooo.....
Don't worry, they're not cheap
20 steps $320 on the mentioned store. $126 on AliExpress. Probably made in same factory .

If red, then night vision would not be affected. Now that we have low powered LED lights, there are battery powered motion sensitive lights that you could just stick on though that would mean having a large pool of NiMH AAA batteries to keep swapping batteries every three months with.
In theory, you could design them to be trickle charged through your WiFi as it's easy to pick up 5v power from WiFi broadcasts but you would have to hack the WiFi base station to always be in maximum power mode (easy with Linksys as they use Linux as their OS), this was proposed as PiFi but it didn't seem to catch on, even though it could've trickle charged your smart phone, door bell cams, security cameras and smart locks. Your microwave is also the 2.4 GHz frequency of the first few generations of WiFi so your microwave could become a fast charger (yes, WiFi was microwaving us for decades but at very low power levels). There was also proposals to provide wireless power by small solar panels for trickle charging as silicon reacts mostly to infrared light so an infrared lamp in the room could power the devices invisibly. PiFi was discovered by University students hacking their WiFi base stations and building their own wirelessly trickle charged devices such as motion sensitive lights out of existing devices...

Billy Jean..Heee who, chamone..hoooo.
It's pretty and would look good in a modern home. However, I don't even bother with turning on recessed ceiling stair lights I have.
Especially for handicapped people and elderly people.. it might prevent elderly people from falling down the stairs
I would be half asleep and see my stair case illuminate when I get close and call out “ god!? I did good?!?!”
In my build I want lights behind glass block risers on my porch steps. I mean, simply mounting a motion sensor and a lightbulb under the porch accomplishes that. No need for sequencing.
I want theater lighting on motion sensors around my baseboards so I don't have to turn on lights and disturb anyone else to get a midnight snack. Or if watching a movie and go to make popcorn, I'm not tripping over everything.
There are a lot of good reasons to use strip lights.
Same here. But, who only walks part way down? Sequencing may be a cool effect, but they could all come on at the same time for a lot less wiring hassle, two sensors, and no programming.
I'd put them in my home; if I could ever own a home...
Check out some USDA foreclosures... Not all farms , mostly small houses and under an acre of land. Can get low income subsidized mortgages too! Almost bought a house for 5k , but a real estate agent outbid me.

I thought you were talking about the stairs at first and I was like “how do stairs cost $200 on amazon?”
It’s nice going down the stairs, but won’t you get blinded going up the stairs?
Looks like they are on the underside of the overhang part of the step, so it wouldn’t be that bad.
I did this with some battery operated ones for my father‘s house. One every three steps on the side for some extra light.
I installed a motion sensor both ways to the stairs and put a full length led bar behind the hand rail so it washes up the wall with light...
So you didn’t do the same thing.
I missed the lights cause I couldn't focus on anything but the trash everywhere.
For a fraction of that price you could get a bunch of basic light strips and just have them all connected together with a motion sensor.
I bought a box that had 50ft of light strips for like $20 at the store to use for other lighting purposes, and the light strips are customizable so you can make them change colors over time or just stay one color of your choice.
Ghosts would have a fun time with this.💀
They say that ghosts aren't switching lights on and off to scare you away.
They're fascinated by electricity in homes and keep going, _"Harold! Check this out!"_

Only if there is a long dark corridor or stairwell. Bonus points if there is also a series of serious looking oil paintings on the wall flanked by heavy curtains or wall columns.
$200 stair LEDs: "almost a necessity"
$2 light bulb: "never heard of it"
To me 200 dollars is my salary for a month..😢
Takes too long to light up in case you have to run down the stairs. (At least in this video). A normal light switch is much better and cheaper. Also, often these timed lights are designed to save electricity and not for convenience. Seniors and those with mobility issues would find that they time out and shut off way too soon. Maybe you can adjust the settings on some of these, idk. But this video does not mention this option. Imo, that would be a major feature and benefit to the user.
As long as you can install them yourself, otherwise they will be another $300 to have them installed
Guys, for building a new home, that usually have one staircase, $200 is like nothing no matter the price range of the stairs. Overhead lighting doesn’t always work well with enclosed stair cases. My dad tripped on something in a staircase and died from a TBI. These could be a life saver.
What's truly disgusting are those stairs. Could no one spend 1 minute sweeping them before shooting the ad lmaoo

I would consider it after finding out how much it is to replace the lights. Sometimes the led replacements are more expensive than the system and wiring.
>200$
>cheap
Sure pal
If you want a professional electrician like me to install a high quality set the material price is gonna be around $1000 CAD. You can get your own set and have me run the wires, but then I’m gonna have to learn how it works and then run the wires and that could take 1-8 hours start to finish depending on the kit, the quality of the information I’m provided and your staircase. I’m billed out at roughly $120/hour so you are looking at $120-$960 in labour to get your stair lights wired in. These are disgustingly cheap if you can do it yourself. I have ways of bringing down the cost for the customer provided they are ok with giving up the sequential activation, but optional features like this will always cost you.
I build custom kitchen and bathroom and I can say that lighting is a big deal for most builds i know lots of my customers would love this style of lighting
Agreed, lighting is a big deal for my wife and I as well. Spent over 3k to outfit our home with smart switches and led ambient lighting for all spaces. I did all the installation myself and it makes a huge difference. We love it and guests are wowed at the lighting and integration.
@@michaelnguyen3836 very cool I bet it looks amazing 👍💯
This style lighting is becoming very popular in 55+ communities. It is also installed under kitchen islands and bath vanities.
It really helps to reduce the chance of falls.
$200 for wires and lights
$0 for normal stairs
I thought this was going to be an indictment of the build quality of the stairs not an ad lmao
I'd be a bit worried that these might catch fire if they're used on carpeted stairs.
Their LED so they don't put off any heat
What kinda light bulbs do you use in you house? Kitchen heater lamps?
Would be cool to install them in a long dark hallway.
Resident Evil? 🤨
Its cool and all but i think it will last longer if u live alone thus u will use it less often
Just need to have billie jean play,as the stairs light up.
I bought the battery operated once I installed them every four steps from the first floor to the second floor and from the second floor to the attic I installed them in the hallway, I love them. Three AAA batteries, and they last nearly forever.
I knew it, just when I was thinking why not batteries, each one an individual unit. Thank you. Definitely going find some.
Mice be like 👀👀
This TECHNOLOGY is old they had this on the side walk on michael Jackson billy jean video .
I have something similar, but they also have a light sensor. That way, they only turn on if the stairwell is dark enough. They work great, especially when I wake up at night to go downstairs for water or a snack. I don't need to turn on the overhead light fixture to see the stairs.
It would be a waste of electricity and annoying if they came on when there was enough light in the stairwell to see the stairs.
