I am sure they are the same fitting (the micromark led) but they are
available in a range of colours not just blue white. My supplier had a
display board with all the colours, sizes and shapes I think it was six
lines of colours by six or more different sizes and shapes.

They're what I used - I can't find them on www.diy.com <http://www.diy.com>
, but they were =A350 per pack of 10 (the distribution box only has 10
connectors).  The each about the size of an old 10p, flush-mounted to the
side of the stairs (as opposed to the wall above) and have 3 bluey/white
LEDs within.

As you say, I hope the 30,000hrs rated life is true, as replacing then once
are fitted is a fiddle (but not impossible).

It depends what you want, I have done a couple of jobs recently with a wall
recessed light which has an asymmetric back so it throws the light across
the step. They are very nice, very expensive and a real b****** to fit as
they have an integral transformer which has to be recessed into the wall.
These actually light the steps.



Another option would be tread lights where the lights are actually in an
aluminium channel along the front of the step, These are used a lot in
hotels, restaurant and so on and have a fairly commercial/industrial look.

I
think they use xenon lights.



For a home feature you might like to think about the micromark led
fittings=
,
they have them in a range of sizes from about the size of a euro coin on up
and in either round or an eye shape (I didn't see any square/rectangular
bu=
t
they may well do those as well). Off the top of my head you could run about
18 of the smaller fittings off a single transformer. The smaller ones are
really just for effect as they don't really through enough light to be of
much use. I was on holiday in Portugal recently and in a restaurant they
ha=
d
the smallest ones embedded in a dark glossy stone floor. Very effective but
not sure about maintenance.

and all the way up the stairs. And I'm thinking that some stair lighting=20
might be funky. Has nayone got any galleries of pictures of design ideas=20
for this ?

Im thinking of a pressure mat on the first and last steps so comfort can=20
kick them on (ie mebe some led lighting?)

Open for ideas....
