You can get stuff called "Electroluminescent wire" in various colours
that glowws when a battery is connected.

You could mount some of this inside clear PVC tubing mounted under the
'nose' of the step with pipe clips.

B&Q used to sell EL wire kits; not sure if they still do. Many places
on the web stock it including: http://www.surelight.com/content.php

I suspect Maplin also stock it and possibly car accessory shops.


I thought about EL wire - I've used it in other projects but its not
appropriate here - I want small round lights in the stringer.

I have a reel of SMD blue LEDs and a reel of white, and am thinking about
having a local fabricator make some holders, whilst I knock up a quick PCB
for these. However, this would be pricey and very time consuming, so I was
hoping to find something acceptable ready-made.
