    1. A stair circuit is a type of circuit used to control or adjust the brightness of lights or other electrical devices in a simple and effective way. Stair circuits are often used in households, office buildings, etc. to control stair lighting systems. Stair circuits can be installed with one or two switches, depending on usage needs.

      Stair circuits are often used in applications such as stair lighting, where bulbs or other light sources are turned on or off sequentially as the user moves up or down the stairs.

      Stair circuits often use sensors or switches to sense the presence of users. When a person moves forward or backward, the circuit activates the bulbs in a certain order, creating the effect of light moving along the stairs.

      Stair circuits can be designed with many different methods, from using simple relays to using microcontrollers to control lighting. This depends on the specific requirements of the application and the level of complexity the designer wants to achieve.

      Stair circuit diagram

      A simple staircase circuit consists of a switch and a light bulb. When the user presses the switch at any point on the stairs, the circuit will operate and the stair lights will turn on. Conversely, when the switch is pressed again, the circuit breaks and the light turns off. This is a basic staircase circuit diagram commonly used in small families or buildings with only a single staircase.

      The 1-switch stair circuit uses a 3-pole switch to control the stair light. A 3-pole switch has three terminals, a source terminal, an output terminal and a touch terminal. When the switch is turned on, the source and touch terminals are connected together, allowing current to flow through the circuit and the light to illuminate.

    1. As for you, (shaky inhale) whatever you did, and whatever protection it might have afforded you is severed with Agnes’s death. Arthur has told us not to harm you yet, but this whole thing has really rather weakened his authority, and many of us are now looking towards Diego for leadership. But we shall see, I suppose.
