The LED light source requires less power than the output of

a 9-volt transistor battery. The low-voltage DC transformer/

charger is certified by Energy Star for high energy efficiency

and is UL listed. To save you even more, photocell

technology senses ambient light and turns your stairway

lights on and off automatically, as needed. You may also

override the sensor for continuous lighting or to turn them

off while you’re away.

staIRway IlluMINatION Is IMpORtaNt fOR pReVeNtINg INjuRy IN the hOMe!

The Spiral Stairlighting Kit is completely safe to use because

it converts your normal house current to low-voltage DC

before sending it to your staircase. The LED lights and

transformer stay cool, so there are no safety concerns about

heat that can be generated by conventional lighting. The

Spiral Stairlighting Kit is also water-resistant and its patented

track system protects your family and your pets from any

contact with the low-voltage wires. During an emergency, the

Spiral Stairlighting Kit keeps you safe even in the dark with

battery backup power that lasts up to 12 hours or more.

the spIRal staIRlIghtINg KIt Is VIRtually MaINteNaNCe fRee!

The LED lights are designed to last for nearly 12 years, so

you’re free from the frequent task of changing light bulbs.

The compact power box continuously charges its own self-

contained backup batteries while the lights are on. Installation

can be done in just a few hours and the kit contains all the

materials you need. Once the system is installed, just plug it

in and enjoy!15
