DIY LED strip stairs

[designabc123]

Good news everyone, the setup with the two PIR sensors and the LED strips connected in parallel worked. The only small thing that is not ideal is the fact that when the second sensor is triggered after the first one already turned the lights on, the LEDs closer to the second sensor become a bit brighter. I imagine that as the voltage drops a bit from the first LED to the last, triggering the second sensor while the lights are already on reverses the direction of the power (the last LED gets power first). It's not a huge difference and I can definitely live with this setup. Thanks to everyone for your guidance.

Hi designabc
if you were to use thicker red & black power wires up to the top sensor, or maybe try another pair of wires in parallel, you might lessen the effect you mention.
Pleased to hear it's all working.

Thanks for the tip! It's a very slight difference and I've already done so much with this setup as it's not worth removing the old wire and doing it again, but I'll definitely know for my next PIR + LED project.
