STX-1794 controller is used for dynamic lighting of the stairs. The backlight is switched on with the subsequent steps, depending on the motion directions: ascending or descending.
The controller is adapted to control the MONO LED strips arranged in stair steps or points (spots) LED built into the wall above the steps. LED strip driver can smoothly dimm at each step which gives a nice effect to the eye.

Illumination of the stairs takes place in the following order:
When you press the button (eg at the bottom of the stairs), Three types of animation: Vawe: illumination lights up step by step from bottom to top. After lighting up the entire staircase the light is stable for a short period, and then lighting of the staircase goes from the lower to the upper level, sequentially step by step, Cascade: the light falls from the top of the stairs and brightens step by step. Elevator: a group of three illuminated degrees moves up or down.
Please watch the video (STX-1794 works just like STX-1792):
Depending on the setting parameters of the controller, the light of the stairs can fade out to zero or to a minimum value (allowing to illuminate the stairs for better presentation, or climb them easily in the dark - without turning on a full light - especially important for children!). When you press the top button, the stairs are lighted from top to bottom and turned off also in the same direction.
In case when another person steps on the stairs, the controller switches on full illumination of stairs and fade them out smoothly.
The controller includes a special program – DEMO. It allows you to demonstrate the possibility of controller or just run the animation of stairs lighting.
Our Stairs Light Controller at work:
Lights can be turned on by pressing directly button on the wall, connected to the controller or by the use of additional sensor (infrared, motion, pressure, etc.) to detect when the person steps on the stairs.
The controller can support up to 20 steps. It can also control lighting of handrail - in this case the number of steps is reduced by the number of handrails (max. 2).

Diagram shows the connection of the controller for 18 steps and two handrails (on both sides of the stairs). The control is provided via two push buttons on the top and bottom of stairs. |
All the parameters, of the controller can be set by the user - include number of steps and handrails.
Other parameters of the controller can be set by the user. These include the backlight on or off the stairs in the dark, steps lightening time, the time interval between successive step lightening (it has an impact on the speed of lightening all of the stairs), or the time after which the steps will be faded out. If used motion detectors, “dead” time can be set after receiving a signal from a sensor, or a lack of response to one or both of the sensors until the end of the animation program, to prevent re-integration of lighting while descending the stairs. You can also set a long time to start up the driver does – it will not react to transients of the sensor while power is on. Possibility of changing options can be locked. At any time, you can also restore the factory settings.
