Description
The Apus is a recessed LED step light built for marking indoor stairways and low-level routes. It draws just 0.8W on a 12V DC supply and gives a soft 13 lumen output at 3000K warm white, with a built-in PIR sensor that brings the light up as someone approaches. Known in the US as a recessed stair light, it sits flush in the wall and sets a square 75 by 75mm aperture against the surface for a clean, low-glare finish.
This light suits indoor stairs, landings and hallway skirting lines where a gentle wayfinding glow is wanted rather than full room lighting. Its modest 13 lumen output is intended for marking step edges and route detail, not lighting a space, so think of it as low-level orientation light along a flight of stairs or a corridor wall. The PIR makes it well suited to night-time movement, fading in only when needed. Being IP20 rated, it is for dry indoor positions only and should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp setting.
Construction pairs polished stainless steel with a plastic body and a black finish that recesses into the wall. It carries an IP20 rating and runs on 12V DC, so it pairs with a suitable low-voltage driver rather than wiring direct to mains. The fitting is non-dimmable, with the PIR handling on and off automatically, and the integrated LED is rated for around 50,000 hours. Square in form at 75 by 23 by 75mm, it weighs just 84g, making it easy to position within a wall recess.

Frequently Asked
Does it need a 12V transformer or driver?
Yes. The Apus runs on 12V DC, so it must be powered through a suitable low-voltage driver rather than wired directly to mains. Size the driver to the total load if you are running several step lights from one supply.
Can it be used outdoors?
No. This fitting is IP20 rated, which means dry indoor use only. Keep it clear of bathrooms, porches, carports and any damp or outdoor location, and use it for interior stairs, landings and hallways instead.
How is it installed?
The Apus is a recessed fitting that mounts flush within the wall. It sets into a square recess sized to its 75 by 75mm body, sitting level with the surface for a discreet low-level finish along a stairway or corridor.
How does the PIR sensor work?
The built-in PIR detects movement and brings the light up automatically as someone approaches, then lets it switch off again afterwards. This makes it useful for night-time wayfinding on stairs without needing a wall switch.
