We feel safer on the stairs
They come on as we start up, stay on a couple of minutes, then go off.

The stairs light up before you reach the first one
Six rechargeable motion lights that trigger together, so the whole run lifts at once instead of one step at a time. No wiring, no outlet.
- The whole staircase is lit before your foot finds the step: One movement wakes every light on the run at once, so there is no dark tread between one glow and the next.
- You stop turning the hallway light on at 3am: No overhead switch, no waiting for your eyes to come back from it, and no strip of light under anybody else's door.
- The dark spots you had stopped noticing get found: Six covers a staircase. Then it is the landing, then the back door, then the bottom of the wardrobe - which is why most people come back for a second set.
- One charge lasts a season, not a fortnight: Warm light, aimed down at the tread rather than out at you. One owner charged his in the middle of February and again at the end of May.

No more four AAAs per light
My old stick-on lights ate batteries and never lasted a month. These recharge.
Measure before you stick them
The plates go on properly the first time if you mark the spacing first.
Each light has its own motion sensor, and all of them are paired to each other over a short-range radio link. When any one of them sees movement in the dark, it tells the rest, and the whole set comes on together.
One network carries up to eighteen lights across about a hundred feet, which is the practical ceiling for a floor of a house. They stay lit for roughly twenty seconds after the last movement, then go out on their own.
They are meant not to. There is a light sensor as well as a motion sensor, and the motion side is supposed to stay asleep until the room is genuinely dark.
Being straight with you: this is the one thing owners occasionally report going wrong, in a room with a lamp on or a lot of daylight bouncing around - bright enough for you, not quite dark enough for the sensor to have switched off. If a spot is borderline, move the light out of the direct daylight and it settles. If it still misbehaves, that is what the sixty nights are for.
They hold. The magnet is strong enough that owners take them down one-handed to charge and put them back without re-aiming - that is the part people like most about them.
The one to get right is the metal plate. It sticks on with adhesive, and it is genuinely difficult to move afterwards without taking a little paint with it. Mark your spacing first, press each plate down once, and do not plan on relocating them next month. On papered or flaking walls, the plate is the weak point rather than the magnet.
No. These are motion-triggered only - there is no steady-on mode, and no switch to override it.
Worth knowing before it arrives rather than after: if what you actually want is a small lamp that stays lit, this is the wrong product and we would rather say so here.

You know which step is the dark one.
You are up for the bathroom, or the dog, or nothing in particular. You do not turn the hallway light on, because it is the kind of bright that ends the night for you and wakes whoever is still asleep. So you go down in the dark, one hand on the rail, counting.
It is fine, until the night you are tired and you get the count wrong. One reviewer put it plainly: the top two treads and the bottom three were dark, and his wife had missed the last two twice.
The stick-on lights that are supposed to fix this only wake one at a time, because each one is its own sensor with its own little pool of light. You get a lit patch, then a dark gap, then another lit patch - and the gap is where your foot goes wrong. A staircase is not six problems. It is one.
These six are wired to each other, not to the wall.

Six sensors, one decision
Ordinary stick-on lights each make up their own mind, which is why you get a lit patch and then a dark gap. These are paired: whichever one sees you speaks for all of them, so the run comes up as a single piece of light. Up to eighteen can join one network across about a hundred feet, which is a staircase, a landing and the hallway off it. A second set finds the first on its own - there is nothing to pair and no app involved at any point.
Lit where your foot is going, not in your eyes
The light points down at the tread rather than out into the room, and it is a warm 3000K rather than the blue-white of a phone screen. That is the difference between seeing the step and being woken up by seeing the step. Three brightness levels, and setting one of them sets all the others to match. They hold for about twenty seconds after the last movement and then go out by themselves, so there is nothing left burning behind you at the top of the stairs.
Charge them in February, think about them again in May
A rechargeable cell instead of the four AAAs each that stick-on lights usually eat. They come off the wall by hand, three at a time on the shared cable, and go back on the plate without re-aiming. Owners report going about three months between charges, depending on how often the lights get triggered and how bright they are set. Nothing stays plugged in, so no outlet is occupied and no cable runs down a wall - which is the whole reason one of these can sit on a stair riser where there was never going to be a socket.
What living with them is like
There is no break-in. They work the first night - what changes after that is you, not them.
Night 1
You mark the spacing, press the plates on, and clip the lights to them. Then you walk the stairs in the dark to watch the whole run come up at once. That is the install finished - there is nothing to pair and nothing to configure.
Week 1
You catch yourself reaching for the hallway switch and not needing it. It takes a few nights to stop reaching, because the reaching is a habit older than the lights are.
Week 3
Whoever else is up at night stops turning the big light on too. This is usually the point the house stops discussing it.
Month 1
You start noticing the other dark places - the landing, the back door, the far end of the hallway. Most people order their second set somewhere around here, which is worth knowing before you decide how many to start with.
Month 3
The first charge falls due. They come off the wall by hand, three at a time on the cable, and go back up in about two hours. How long you actually get depends on how often they trigger and how bright you set them.
Ongoing
Roughly four charges a year, and no batteries bought. The lights they replace took four AAAs each and wanted them back about every month.
What people say
4.7 average from 360 people
Put them along the staircase for getting down at night. They come on as a set, which is the bit I did not expect to matter as much as it does.
Dana R., verified buyer
I bought them for the stairs and ended up putting three more down the hallway. The hall was darker than I had realised.
Marcus H., verified buyer
Charged them when they arrived and did not think about them again until the season had changed.
Priya N., verified buyer
The magnets are excellent. The sticky plates need you to measure first, and I did not.

Questions
They are paired to each other over a short-range radio link rather than to your wifi or your phone. Whichever light sees movement first tells the rest, and they all come on together.
There is no app, no account and nothing to set up. They arrive already talking to each other, and a second set joins the first on its own.
About three months in ordinary use. One owner charged his in the middle of February and again at the end of May.
It moves with how often they get triggered and how bright you set them - a busy hallway on the top brightness will want charging sooner than a spare staircase on the lowest. Three come off the wall onto one cable at a time and go back up in about two hours.
Every other tread is what most people land on for a staircase, which makes a set of six right for a standard flight. Then the landing at the top and the stretch of hallway you actually walk at night.
One network carries up to eighteen across about a hundred feet. If you know already that the hall is as dark as the stairs, start with twelve - going back for a second set is the single most common thing owners say they did.
Two things. Yours each decide on their own, so you get a lit patch and then a dark gap - these come on as one piece. And yours take disposable batteries, which is why they were dim within a month.
That is the whole difference, and it is the reason people who have already tried the cheap ones tend to keep these.
Sixty nights, used or unused. Put them up properly, live with them through a few dark mornings, and if you find yourself reaching for the hallway switch anyway, message us and we will take them back.
One thing we would rather tell you now than have you find out: there is no always-on mode. If what you want is a lamp that stays lit, this is not it.

I stopped counting steps in the dark
Our staircase turns halfway and the bottom three treads were always black. Now the whole run comes on together as soon as I am on the landing, so there is no gap to guess at. I did not realise how much I had been bracing for that corner until I stopped doing it.

The hallway light stays off now
I am up most nights and the overhead light used to wake my wife through the door. These come on low and warm and go off on their own. Two months in and she has not mentioned it once, which is the review really.

Replaced four battery lights that never lasted
The stick-on ones I had took four AAAs each and were dim inside a month. These came off the wall, charged on one cable in an evening, and went back up. I have not bought a battery since.

Bought six, went back for six more
Started on the stairs. Then the landing was obviously dark, and then the back door. They all talk to each other so the second set just joined the first with nothing to set up. I would start with twelve if I were doing it again.

Measure twice before the plates go on
The lights themselves are excellent and the magnet is properly strong. The metal plates are adhesive though, and the one I put on crooked took a bit of paint with it when I moved it. Mark your spacing first and it is a ten minute job you only do once.
