Long-Drop Staircase Chandeliers
Make a dramatic statement in double-height stairwells with chandeliers designed for 2-4 metre suspension. Crystal spirals, cascading disc designs, and modern LED rings create a focal point visible from every level.

LED Banister & Handrail Lighting
Mount the FLUX Wall & Staircase 22mm aluminium profile along your banister to create a continuous guiding light. The slim profile can also be recessed into timber handrails for a concealed illuminated effect. Pair with COB LED strips for seamless, dot-free illumination. This approach combines safety with modern architectural detail -- your handrail becomes a light source.
Plaster-In Light Lines for Staircase Walls
Embed continuous lines of light directly into your staircase walls using plaster-in LED profiles. These aluminium channels are cast into concrete, cement render, or gypsum -- creating architectural light patterns that guide you up and down. Create playful geometric patterns, horizontal guide lines, or a single dramatic accent. Pair with COB strips for seamless light.
Motion-Sensor Recessed Step Lights
Recessed radar step lights install into staircase risers for automatic foot-level illumination. These lights detect movement and turn on as you approach -- no wall switches needed. Radar sensors are more reliable than PIR and work through non-metallic surfaces. Aluminium body, warm white LED. Available in rectilinear and square designs.
Stepwise Staircase Automation
Create a dramatic cascading light effect with a stepwise staircase controller. Motion sensors at the top and bottom of the staircase trigger LED strips to activate one step at a time in sequence as you walk. Supports up to 32 steps with built-in short-circuit protection. Pair with LED strips cut to step width. Automation can also be installed to auto-turn on/off any staircase lighting.
