Hello,
there was a misunderstanding with our electrician regarding the lighting for our staircase.
We had planned an LED strip running diagonally down along the stairs.
Our electrician originally said it would be installed after the plastering was done. Now he says it should have been laid after the base coat of plaster and then covered with the finishing plaster.
Currently, a cable is hanging out of the finished plaster.
What options are there now for a neat staircase lighting solution?
Should we open up the plaster again and re-install it?
Or do you have any other ideas?

As already mentioned, this is a classic misunderstanding. I think the wall will need to be worked on again.
Using a wall chaser will definitely leave visible marks.
I could imagine that using a small angle grinder would cause the least damage. Mark the area carefully beforehand and cautiously cut a groove. In skilled hands, this could work. However, no one would likely guarantee the result.
I don’t see any other options. A mounting box doesn’t allow for recessed spotlights either.

There are also very shallow profiles, for example only 10mm (0.4 inches) deep. However, it becomes more difficult to create diffuse lighting so that the LEDs are not individually visible (if that is desired).A COB LED strip might work to avoid seeing individual points in a shallow profile.

Our staircase builder does not offer this 😕
