Description

The APUS is a compact recessed step light that drops into the wall to mark stairs and changes of level with a soft downward wash. It draws just 0.8W at 12V DC and puts out 14 lumens in a 4000K cool white tone, giving a crisp low-level glow rather than full room brightness. American buyers will know this format as a recessed stair light, the slim square fitting that sits flush in the wall face beside a tread. The square head measures 75 x 23 x 75 mm and sits neatly within a stair stringer or low wall.

The APUS suits indoor staircases, landings, hallways and split-level rooms where a gentle guide light keeps steps visible without a glaring overhead fitting. Because it is an accent marker rather than ambient room lighting, think of its job as picking out the edge of each tread and the line of a wall, not lighting the whole space. A run of several fittings spaced down a flight gives an even rhythm of light along the stairs. With an IP20 rating it is for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp position.

Built around a polished stainless steel and plastic body in a black finish, the APUS runs on a 12V DC supply, so it needs a suitable low-voltage transformer or driver rather than a direct mains connection. It is recessed into the wall, fitting flush for a clean face with no protruding housing. The fitting is not dimmable and is rated for 50,000 hours of life with a CRI of Ra 80. We also stock matched models in the APUS range for consistent step lighting across a whole flight.

Frequently Asked

Does the APUS need a 12V transformer or driver?

Yes. The APUS runs on a 12V DC supply, so it must be wired through a suitable low-voltage transformer or driver and not connected straight to mains. Size the transformer to cover the total wattage of all the step lights on the circuit.

Can the APUS be used outdoors?

No. The APUS carries an IP20 rating, which means it is for dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, porches, gardens and any damp or sheltered-outdoor position where moisture could reach it.

Is the APUS recessed into the wall?

Yes. It is designed as a recessed mount that sits flush in the wall face beside a step, leaving no protruding housing. This gives a tidy finish along a stairway or landing.

How do I clean the APUS?

Wipe the visible face with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to lift dust and marks. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents on the black finish, and switch the fitting off at the supply before cleaning.
