Stairway LED lighting with IR trip sensor

Step 9Mount sensors and IR LEDs and done!

Mount sensors and IR LEDs and done!
Position your sensors directly across the hall from the IR LEDs and stick them to the wall with double sided tape or glue. Run the sensor and LED to a point nearby on the main cable, and cut out a piece of insulation. Solder the leads of the wires to the man cable leads similar to the light LED mounting by melting off some insulator. Make sure to connect the positive sides to non-switched 5v, the negative to ground, and each sensor output to a separate wire. Plug it all in, and if everything is made right you should have working trip sensor LED stairlights!
