This LED installation design will comprise of vertical strips of LEDs that align with every other stair. They will have a cascading animation where each strip will glow on and off one after another so the motion appears to be going downwards. I decided to conform the geometry to an orthogonal grid pattern because the rest of the interior space has a very modernist sensibility that follows a very minimalist grid. For the color however, I am proposing bright red and blue colors to contrast the stairway from the monochromatic color scheme in the rest of the space. The color scheme and the downwards cascading animation will be implemented so that guests’ eyes will immediately go to the stairwell and know where to go next as soon as they enter from the ground floor.
Bill of Materials
60 x 6’ = 360’ = 110m in total | 22 x 5m rolls (RGB 5050 LED Strip Light, 60/m, 10mm wide) | $540
3 x DMX 24 Channel 5000 | 330 x 3 = $990
1 x 1000W EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G1+ 1000W | $150
120 6.6 LED Aluminum Channel | (Pack of 10 = $76) 12 * 76 | $912
80’ of 4AWG cable | $80
Approx total = $2700++
