Description
The Erinus is a low-profile LED step light that recesses into the wall to mark stairs, hallways and corridors with a soft downward wash. It runs on 12V DC and draws just 0.8W, putting out 15 lumens at a 4000K cool white tone with an Ra 80 colour rendering. The square white faceplate measures 75 x 75 mm with a 16 mm depth, and the LED is integrated rather than a replaceable lamp. In the US this kind of fitting is known as a step light, set flush into the wall at low level to guide footing.
The Erinus suits internal staircases, landings, hallway skirting runs and the base of feature walls, where it provides orientation rather than full room lighting. Its 15 lm output is a marking light, so think of it as a gentle pool of brightness at floor level to define each tread or edge, not a source that lights a whole space. Several units spaced along a run give an even line of guidance underfoot. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor use only, so keep it out of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed location.
Built from white plastic with a square form, the Erinus is designed for recessed mounting in the wall via a standard back box, sitting flush once installed. It carries an IP20 rating and a rated lifespan of around 30,000 hours, and it is not dimmable. The fitting requires a 12V DC supply, so a suitable transformer or driver is needed to step mains voltage down. Warm and cool white versions are offered across the wider Erinus range.

Frequently Asked
Does the Erinus need a transformer or driver?
Yes. The Erinus runs on 12V DC, so it must be fed from a suitable transformer or LED driver rather than wired straight to mains. A single driver can usually supply several step lights on the same run, given the low 0.8W draw of each unit.
Can it be used outdoors?
No. The Erinus is rated IP20, which means dry indoor use only. It is not protected against moisture or dust, so it should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches, gardens and any damp or exposed position, and used solely for internal stairs and hallways.
How is it installed?
It is a recessed wall fitting, set flush into the wall at low level using a standard back box. The square 75 x 75 mm faceplate sits level with the surface once fitted, with a depth of 16 mm to accommodate the body.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the white faceplate with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents on the plastic finish, and make sure the supply is off before cleaning around the recessed unit.
