00:00If your stairs are so dark you flip on the whole house just to get downstairs, you're wasting power in
00:04your eyes.
00:06I dug through a pile of PIR motion downlights to find the ones that actually work, and the best deals
00:11for fixed dark stairs with these PIR motion downlights are shockingly cheap.
00:15Starting with the one that's sold almost 5,000 times.
00:19This recessed LED downlight comes in 5, 10, 15 and 20 watts, so you can put a small one on
00:25a step and a brighter one on the landing without buying two different fixtures.
00:29Cold white means clean, bright light on stairs, and the PIR sensor keeps it off until somebody actually walks past.
00:36At $6.09, this is the one I'd buy first, then grab two or three more.
00:42Ratings 4.7 from thousands of buyers, so it's not a gamble.
00:46This next one is the same basic idea, but the selling point is the AC85-265V range on the label.
00:53If your home runs on anything from 100 up to 240 volts, you wire it straight in with no converter
00:59and no transformer.
01:01Same 5, 10, 15 and 20 watt options, listed for corridors, living rooms and kitchens, so it's a general-purpose
01:08workhorse.
01:09$7.18, 4.6 stars, over 4,000 sold.
01:14Slightly lower rating than some, but wide-voltage compatibility at that price makes it the safest pick if you're unsure
01:20what your supply is.
01:22Now the pricier one at $21.84, and that's the jump that makes people hesitate.
01:27But it's surface-mounted, and that matters, because you can fix it to a ceiling or a stair underside without
01:33cutting a single hole in your house.
01:35The listing also calls it anti-glare, which is huge on a staircase since you're looking straight up at the
01:40fixture while you walk.
01:42Plus it advertises full-spectrum color instead of one fixed white.
01:46If you rent, or your ceiling's already finished, this is the one.
01:51Back down to 682, and this is the one that puts stair and hallway in the description itself.
01:57It's a PIR motion sensor spot in 5, 10, 15 and 20 watts, aimed at entrances, corridors, hallways and stairs,
02:04so somebody already did the thinking about where it works.
02:084.7 stars, just over 4,000 sold.
02:11Being a spot, it throws a tighter beam, which is nice if you want a pool of light on the
02:16steps instead of washing the whole flight.
02:18If you only need to fix one staircase, this is my pick at this price.
02:23And the highest rated of the bunch, 4.8, comes in at $9.56, but that's for two lights, two
02:29-piece slot, so you're really under $5 a fixture.
02:32They're 5, 7, and 9 watts on 220 volts, round LED panels in 2.5, 3, and 4-inch sizes,
02:39which gives you more sizing options than most of the cheaper ones.
02:42Two per order is the smart move anyway, because stairs are never just one light.
02:47On standard 220-volt mains, this is the one I'd buy in bulk.
02:52Links for all five are in the description, and prices move, so grab them while they sit there.

03:02next thing that actually works in your house.
03:05Thanks for watching.
