The LumenstarLED RT05 High Voltage Recessed Step Light is purpose-built for applications where reliable, low-energy illumination is essential at grade level. Running on 120V AC and drawing just 2 watts, it integrates seamlessly into standard residential and light commercial wiring systems. The 4000K colour temperature produces a neutral, cool white tone that reads clearly in both interior and exterior environments, improving safety along stairs, landings, and pathways.
One of the standout features of the RT05 is its single gang junction box compatibility. Unlike recessed step lights that require custom rough-in boxes or specialty enclosures, this fixture mounts directly onto a standard single gang box — a common rough-in found in virtually every Canadian residential and commercial construction project. This dramatically simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, reducing both labour time and material costs.
The horizontal mount configuration of the RT05 positions the light aperture to cast illumination downward and outward along the walking surface, maximizing visibility precisely where it matters most. This directional output reduces light spill and glare for occupants while still providing sufficient foot-level brightness for safe navigation. The recessed design also protects the LED module from physical contact and incidental damage in high-traffic areas.
Built with LumenstarLED's commitment to durability and energy efficiency, the RT05 is suited for long-term deployment in both new construction and renovation projects. The 2W power draw translates to extremely low operating costs, especially when multiple units are installed across stairways or extended pathways. LED longevity means significantly fewer replacements compared to traditional incandescent or halogen step lights, reducing lifecycle costs over time.
The SKU LS-RT05HV-RH-4K is a go-to choice for architects, lighting designers, and electricians seeking a code-compliant, aesthetically refined recessed step light that installs without complication. Its high-voltage operation, neutral white colour temperature, and standard junction box compatibility make it one of the most practical recessed step lighting solutions available for Canadian residential stairways, commercial corridors, and outdoor deck applications.
