The description for this item wasn't very detailed, but the other reviews seemed encouraging, so we bought it anyway. Here's what we received: 8 light bars, each about 14 inches long-- 2 of them have the motion sensors (and hold the batteries), and all of them have the LED lights integrated. The light strip bars connect easily end to end, and all the light bars are powered from the batteries in the 2 motion sensor bars. You can stick them on the wall using ultra-sticky foam tape already attached to the back of the light bars. Also nice, 6 of the light bars (the ones without a motion sensor) have a telescoping feature so you can elongate them up to maybe 7 or 8 inches further. This lets you customize the distribution of the lights so all your stairs get evenly illuminated, etc. Bonus pieces: an extra light to stick at the end of the light bar group, and 4 twist-able joint pieces that can be used to flexibly connect the light bars going around one or more corners.

So far we assembled everything, stuck it on the wall, and tested it about 10 times. Our stairs are kind of long and turn a corner, so our configuration is to have the light bars arranged in two separate groups of 4: one group at the top of the stairs, and the other group near the bottom, each group with its own motion sensor. This seems to be working fine. Also, we were wondering whether we'd need to buy another set of these light bars to line the opposite side of the stairs. Now we see that's not necessary, as the LEDs really kick out a lot of light, illuminating pretty much everything. Between looking cool, working well, and the easy install, we're very satisfied with it.

I have been looking for something to light up a dark staircase leading up to our third floor guest room. This product turned out to be a perfect solution. It only took a few minutes to install and does a great job at lighting up the stairs without being too bright. The sensor turns on the light only when you approach the stairs and there is an ajustment so that you can set the amount of time the lights stay on.
I also like that the design is not too bulky and blends in fairly well with the trim going up the stairs.

Overall, I'm very happy with this product and would recommend it for a quick and easy way to light an area without getting an electrician involved.

I was designing a lights system for a dark staircase when I found this product. It was exactly what I was looking for. It has a combination motion and light sensors that worked together so the light does not turn on if the existing light was too high. And the "light on time" is adjustable. It was very easy to install and no electrical hookup were needed. This has been in use for over four months now and has not had to change the batteries. Luckily the wood work was white so it blends in nicely. The design was well done but thought that for the price the plastic frame could be a little heftier. If it was kicked or bumped it with something like a vacuum cleaner, the plastic may easily break.
