Built for stairs, inside and outThis step light is built around an
aluminum housing with a
frosted acrylic lens — a combination chosen for a reason. Aluminum moves heat away from the LED board, which is what keeps a small sealed fixture running year after year, and the frosted lens diffuses the output so you see the lit tread rather than the diode. Because the fixture is
suitable for wet locations, it can go on exterior stairs, deck skirts, porch walls and garden retaining walls where rain and melting snow are part of daily life. Inside, it is equally at home in a basement stairwell, a hallway or a home theatre aisle.
Light quality and outputThe
integrated LED source delivers
70 lumens — deliberately modest, because a
stair light is meant to guide, not to blind. At
3000K, the warm white tone flatters wood treads, natural stone, brick and poured concrete, and blends with most interior and exterior fixtures already on your property. Keeping the fixture below eye level is the golden rule: mounted low, the frosted lens washes the tread with a soft pool of light and leaves the night sky and your sightlines intact. Rated for
25,000 hours, it outlasts the halogen and incandescent step fixtures it replaces while drawing a fraction of the energy.

Installation and wiringThe fixture runs on standard
120V line voltage, so no low-voltage transformer is needed for this one — a real time-saver on renovation jobs where a circuit is already nearby.
Horizontal or vertical mounting lets you set the fixture square to the riser or the wall studs, whichever your framing allows. Its
115 mm x 70 mm x 52 mm footprint fits comfortably in most stud and riser cavities; measure and dry-fit before cutting, and plan one fixture every second or third riser so the pools of light overlap with no dark gaps. Because it is
approved for direct contact with insulation, you can install it in insulated walls and ceilings without building a clearance box. Wiring should always be done by a licensed electrician who will confirm the circuit and the enclosure suit the location, especially outdoors.
Applications, matching products and documentationThink front entrance steps with two or three lights climbing the wall, a backyard deck with fixtures tucked under the railing posts, a garden staircase cut into a slope, or the service stairs of a small business. For a complete layered
LED landscape lighting design, add the
Luna LED outdoor light for wall accents, the
Pico LED outdoor spotlight V2 for trees and façades, or the
Scoop landscape lighting along the walkway; low-voltage fixtures in that family can be powered by the
Luvia 100W outdoor power supply. A
matte white version of this same stair fixture is also available if your trim calls for it. The full
