Product Information

The ALU-STEP-MS-6428 LED Stair Nosing Profile is an engineered solution that integrates safety and sophisticated lighting into any staircase. Designed for surface mounting, this metal profile provides a durable, anti-slip edge for stair treads while housing an LED strip to cast clear, functional illumination. The internal channel is designed to accommodate LED strips up to 12mm in width, giving you the flexibility to create custom lighting effects—from warm white to dynamic RGBCCT or chasing RGB—by choosing the appropriate strip (sold separately). Constructed from economical yet robust sandblasted oxided aluminum, this profile ensures longevity and effective heat dissipation, extending the life of your LEDs. It's the ideal choice for adding a professional, architectural finish to wood, tile, or carpeted stairs in both residential and commercial environments.

Technical Highlights

  • Dual-purpose design provides both functional step lighting and a protective, anti-slip stair edge in a single profile.
  • The profile extends 16mm over the stair tread, providing a clearly defined and robust edge for enhanced visibility and durability.
  • A 44mm wide, ribbed aluminum tread provides excellent grip and secure footing, enhancing safety.
  • Precision-engineered to fit LED strips up to 12mm, allowing for a wide range of CCT, RGB, and RGBCCT lighting options.
  • Suitable for mounting on wood, tile, and carpeted stairs, for both indoor and outdoor projects (with waterproof LED strips).

Model Comparison: MS-6428 vs. QSG-6528

The MS-6428 stands out as a highly cost-effective and economical solution. It features an integrated aluminum anti-slip tread, which offers superior wear resistance, exceptional durability under high-foot-traffic conditions, and a seamless, sleek metallic appearance. 

In contrast, the QSG-6528 is crafted from premium anodized aluminum, delivering enhanced corrosion resistance and a more sophisticated aesthetic. It offers a more spacious internal profile that accommodates wider LED strips up to 15mm for higher lumen output. Furthermore, it utilizes a specialized PVC anti-slip insert, which provides superior traction, excellent grip underfoot, and superior noise reduction during use.

Choose the right stair edge profile to ensure both flawless architectural ambiance and uncompromising safety for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this profile hide the individual LED dots?

A: Yes, the included frosted diffuser cover is designed to spread the light evenly, creating a smooth and continuous line of light with no visible hot spots, especially with high-density LED strips.

Q: Does the profile come with the diffuser cover and end caps?

A: Yes, each length of the profile comes complete with one diffuser cover and a pair of end caps.

Q: How is this LED stair profile mounted?

A: This is a surface-mounted profile. It is typically installed by screwing it directly onto the edge of the stair tread. The screws are concealed inside the channel after the LED strip is installed.

Q: Can I use this profile on outdoor stairs?

A: Yes, the aluminum profile itself is suitable for outdoor use. However, you must pair it with a waterproof LED strip (rated IP67 or IP68) to protect the lighting from moisture.

Q: Does this aluminum profile help cool the LED strip?

A: Absolutely. The aluminum construction acts as an effective heat sink, drawing heat away from the LED strip. This is critical for maintaining performance and extending the lifespan of your LEDs.
