I finally got my stairway lighting nicely installed. For a long time this was done with simple christmas light strands, however those burned out, so why not upgrade to something more fun. Its a 5v LED strip with a 15amp power supply (probably overkill). I have WLED installed on an ESP8266 and am using a sacrificial pixel near the ESP to run things over the long data wire to the strip (leaving the control box further out of view. I designed and printed the clips holding up the LED strip too. The clips hold the 18ga wiring for the power injection at the far side of the strip.

The strip is controlled primarily through home assistant and has motion sensors at the top and bottom of the stairs to turn on the lights at night.

i got them off amazon here. to power them, i found a jonvo 5v 15apower supply, for smaller light sets you can go with lower current too.
