Running light with led

Hi, i have some normal Led’s at the side of my stairs.
They are connected to some hardware and if i enter my stairs the leds start running the way you walk the stairs. From top to bottom or bottom to top.
Now the hardware is broken.
So i thought, maybe i can make it with home assistant?
But what can i use to make a running light and connect the leds?
Who has an idea?
