How many lights does a staircase need?
The packs here hold 2, 4, 6 or 8 lights.1, 3, 5, 6 Most sensors reach 10 ft across a 120-degree angle, so one light can watch a short flight.1, 2 Put one at the top and one at the bottom first, then add more along the steps.
EZVALO's page says its connected lights turn on together, which leaves fewer dark gaps on the way down.1
Do the lights turn on together?
EZVALO's page says all connected stair lights turn on together.1 The other listings we read do not make that claim, so check each listing before you count on it.2, 3
A sync pack suits a long or turning staircase, where one light would leave the far steps dark.
Rechargeable or AAA for stairs?
Rechargeable lights charge by USB-C or Type-C: EZVALO, WILLED's 6-pack and Guankai's RGB 8-pack.1, 2, 4 Guankai's other 8-pack takes 3 AAA per light, 24 in all.3
AAA saves you the charging chore. It costs you a pile of batteries each time they run out.
How long do they last if the stairs are busy?
Rated days depend on how often the light turns on. Each trigger keeps the light on for about 20 seconds, so a busy staircase uses a charge faster than the listing days.1–3
The ratings are WILLED up to 2 months, Guankai's AAA pack up to 4 months, and EZVALO up to 180 days, which is the maker's best case.1–3 Treat the top number as a quiet-house number.
How do I mount them on carpeted or painted stairs?
EZVALO uses a magnet plus adhesive metal plates.1 WILLED uses a magnet plus an adhesive iron sheet.2 Guankai's AAA pack uses double-sided pads.3
Stick the plate to a clean wall or riser, not to carpet. None of the listings we read gives a peel test, so try one on a hidden spot first.
