MALIIGAZA STEP-P5 Smart Stair Light Controller with App & RF Remote Control (Up to 16 Steps, Motion Sensor, Always-On Mode)

Solution: Access settings in the Bluetooth App and switch sensor order, or swap PIR sensor wire inputs at the controller ports.

Solution: Ensure total system power draw does not exceed 240W (15W max per channel) and confirm your DC transformer voltage matches your LED strips.

Solution: Verify wire connections and adjust PIR sensor height and angle to avoid thermal obstruction or physical blockages.

Does this stair light controller come with LED light strips and power supply?

No, this item is the bare STEP-P5 smart controller module. It includes 2 PIR motion sensors and a 5m extension wire. LED light strips, 2-pin wiring, and a DC power supply must be purchased separately to fit your stair length.

How do I control the stair lights using my phone?

Download the official lighting companion application specified in the manual, switch on Bluetooth on your iOS or Android mobile device, and pair directly to the STEP-P5 controller without requiring a home internet hub.

Can I set the stair lights to stay on all night?

Yes! Unlike standard stair light controllers that only react to movement, the STEP-P5 features an "Always-On" mode accessible via both the Bluetooth mobile app and optional RF remote.

How many steps does the MALIIGAZA STEP-P5 controller support?

The controller supports up to 16 individual staircase step ports. If your staircase has fewer steps (e.g., 10 or 12), you can simply program the active step count in the app.

What is the maximum wattage load supported by the STEP-P5 controller?

The STEP-P5 supports up to 15W max per individual step channel with a total combined controller capacity of 240W.

Can I dim or adjust the brightness and speed of the light movement?

Yes, you can adjust overall brightness levels, speed of step sequence activation, and light delay duration directly through the Bluetooth mobile application.

Can I turn off specific steps while leaving others on?

Yes, the STEP-P5 app feature includes individual step switching control, allowing you to turn off specific steps individually without affecting adjacent lighting.

Is this stair lighting controller waterproof for outdoor steps?

The STEP-P5 is engineered primarily for indoor staircase installations. If installing outdoors or in exposed areas, the controller box and power transformer must be housed inside a waterproof enclosure.

How do the PIR motion sensors work?

The controller utilizes dual passive infrared (PIR) sensors mounted at the top and bottom of your staircase. When movement is detected, the controller automatically triggers step lights sequentially in your walking direction.

Can I set a scheduled timer so lights don't trigger during daytime?

Yes, the integrated timer function within the app lets you establish custom schedule hours so the system remains standby during bright daylight and active at night.

What type of LED light strip is compatible with this controller?

The controller is compatible with standard single-color 2-pin monochrome LED strips, single-color COB LED strips, or step light fixtures matching your power transformer output voltage.

Can I cut my LED light strips to fit custom stair widths?

Yes, standard LED strips and COB LED tapes can be cut along their designated copper cut marks to fit your exact staircase tread width.

How does the optional RF remote controller work?

The optional RF remote operates over radio frequency, allowing wall-mounted or handheld remote control without requiring line-of-sight pointing at the controller box.

What should I do if my PIR sensor cable is too short?

The STEP-P5 includes a 5-meter sensor extension cable in the package. Standard low-voltage extension wiring can also be spliced if longer distances are required.

Is the MALIIGAZA STEP-P5 suitable for multi-flight staircases?

A single STEP-P5 controller manages up to 16 steps. For long staircases or multi-flight stairs exceeding 16 steps, installing additional STEP-P5 units is recommended.

What power transformer should I buy with this controller?

Select a constant voltage DC transformer (12V or 24V) with wattage exceeding your total LED strip consumption (up to 240W max load).
