The LumenstarLED RT05 High Voltage Step Light Engine is a purpose-built LED module designed to deliver consistent, safe illumination in step, stair riser, and pathway applications. Unlike low-voltage alternatives that require a remote driver or transformer, this engine operates directly at 120V AC, which simplifies the wiring process and reduces the number of components required for a complete installation. Its compact, self-contained design is ideal for both new builds and retrofit projects.
At a rated wattage of just 2 watts, the RT05 is engineered for maximum energy efficiency without compromising light quality. The 4000K colour temperature — often described as warm white — produces a neutral, inviting glow that enhances both residential and commercial environments. This colour temperature strikes the right balance between warm ambiance and practical visibility, making staircases and corridors safer and more aesthetically pleasing.
The engine is specifically designed to fit a single gang junction box, one of the most universally used electrical boxes in North American construction. This compatibility ensures that electricians and contractors can install the RT05 quickly and confidently, using existing rough-in infrastructure. The straightforward mounting approach reduces labour time and avoids the need for custom cutouts or adapters, resulting in a cleaner, more professional finish.
From a performance standpoint, LED technology at the core of the RT05 ensures a significantly longer operational lifespan compared to incandescent or halogen step lights. Reduced heat output, lower energy consumption, and minimal maintenance requirements translate into lower total cost of ownership over the product's lifetime. This makes the RT05 a smart, forward-thinking choice for property managers, contractors, and homeowners alike.
The LS-RT05HV-4K is stocked and distributed across Canada through Lumibox and LEDCo, ensuring reliable availability for projects of any size. Whether you are outfitting a multi-unit residential building, a hospitality property, or a private home, the RT05 step light engine provides the professional-grade reliability and energy savings that modern lighting projects demand.
