Stair Sensor Switch (RL-STEP-03-08) – DC12-24V LED Stair Lighting Control

Product Overview

The RL-STEP-03-08 is a motion-sensing stair light controller for DC12-24V LED systems, rated at 20A max, designed for 8-step stair lighting. It automatically switches the LED stair lights on when motion is detected and off after movement stops, with cascading step-by-step lighting — hands-free, energy-saving illumination for staircases, hallways and entryways, with no manual switch needed.

Key Features

• Motion-Activated Control — Turns LED stair lights on automatically when movement is detected, off when the area is clear.

• 8-Step Cascading — Drives 8 steps of stair lighting with sequential step-by-step on/off, 20A max current.

• Wide Voltage Range — DC12-24V input, compatible with most low-voltage LED lighting systems.

• Energy-Saving — Lights only stay on while needed, cutting unnecessary power consumption.

• Safety & Convenience — Hands-free operation improves safety on stairs and in corridors, especially at night.

• Compact Design — Low-profile body installs discreetly and blends into the surroundings.

Specifications

Typical Applications

• Staircase LED lighting control

• Hallway and corridor lighting automation

• Entryway and landing lighting systems

• Indoor architectural LED illumination

How It Works

The built-in motion sensor detects human presence and triggers the lights to turn on. After no motion is detected for a set period, the controller automatically switches the lights off — conserving energy while keeping the stairway safely lit when it matters most.

Installation Notes

• Connect to a proper DC12-24V LED power supply; do NOT connect directly to mains 220V.

• Install the sensor in a position with a clear motion detection range, unobstructed by furniture.

• Avoid installing near frequent non-target movements (e.g. HVAC vents or pets) to prevent false triggering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is the RL-STEP-03-08? 
It is a motion-sensing stair light controller for 8-step stair lighting that automatically switches the lights on when movement is detected and off after the area is clear, running on DC12-24V at up to 20A.

Q2. What voltage does it use?
 DC12-24V low-voltage input. Use a matching LED driver and do not connect directly to mains 220V.

Q3. How many steps does it support?
 8 steps. The controller cascades the stair lights step by step for a sequential lighting effect.

Q4. What is the maximum current? 
20A maximum, enough to drive the stair LED strips for a full 8-step installation.

Q5. Does it save energy? 
Yes. The lights only stay on while movement is detected and switch off automatically afterwards, reducing unnecessary power use.

Q6. Where can it be used? 
Staircases, hallways, corridors, entryways and landings, plus indoor architectural LED lighting.

Q7. What power supply do I need? 
A DC12-24V LED power supply rated for the total wattage of the connected stair lights, within the 20A maximum.

Q8. How should I install it? 
Place the sensor where it has a clear detection range, and avoid spots with frequent non-target movement to prevent false triggering.
