Safety note: good lighting helps on stairs, but a light does not replace sturdy handrails, even treads, and clear steps. Do not place cords, adapters, or lights where they can be tripped over or knocked loose. Follow each maker’s instructions for power and charging, use only the adapter or cable provided, and keep batteries and small parts away from young children. Hardwired lights should be installed with the breaker off, by a licensed electrician if you are not experienced. Look for a UL or ETL mark. Listings differ; we describe what each maker lists.
