I would like to use leds for brighten my stairs
I'd need about 14 leds and I am planning to use P7 leds.
Can you suggest me how and were buy a drive for it
Thank you very much

Dude... You sure you need 7000 lumens? Thats about 7 60 watt light bulbs. What kind of atmosphere are we talking about here? How long are the stairs?
 
Agreed, maybe a good old P4 driven no more than 350mA should light even the darkest stair.

That would be each led on the side of the stair maybe????

What effect are you trying to get with your LEDs? That would give us the info we need for good recommendation.....

Thank you guys.
I would like to put a led on the side of the stair every 2 or 3.
I only need it for illuminate the stairs.
I don't know how explain , here in Italy this kind of illumination is called "signsteps" meaning the light is used only for to see were to put the feet every step :)

Thank you

Mhm some warm tint crees in flood optics? If its anything like cinima stair lighting then you don't need that much power.

To do that you need about 25 lumens per step, not 800.
 
Thank you VERY much all!!

So at the end can someone suggest me a setting for 14 leds ?
Leds? Driver? Shop :) ?

If it were me I'd use warm-white or neutral white Cree P4s - Color being entirely your preference.

Driving them at 350mA should be plenty. A couple smaller drivers might be cheaper to work with rather than a single larger driver.
