Erinus Ø80 0.8W LED Step Light 12V Warm White - White

The Erinus is a compact recessed LED step light, a small round fitting that sits flush in the wall to mark a route at low level. It draws just 0.8W on a 12V DC supply and gives a gentle 15 lumens at a warm white 3000K. American buyers will know this style as a recessed wall step light, the low-level marker fitted along stairs and corridors. At Ø75 mm with a round white face, it is sized to disappear into the wall and read as a quiet point of light rather than a bright source.

The low output suits indoor staircases, landings and hallway skirting lines, where the job is to pick out a step edge or guide a path after dark without lighting the whole room. Because this is a marker fitting and not ambient room lighting, the useful effect is a soft pool of warm light around each unit rather than a measured coverage area, so space several along a flight or run for even guidance. It is an IP20 fitting rated for dry indoor use only, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any exposed or damp position.

Built from plastic with a white finish, the Erinus weighs only 20g and recesses into the wall via a round cut-out. It runs on 12V DC, so it needs a 12V transformer or driver to feed the circuit rather than a direct mains connection. The fitting is non-dimmable and holds a fixed 3000K warm white, with a Ra 80 colour rendering and a rated 30,000-hour lifespan. The wider Erinus range offers further low-level markers to match across a stairwell.

Does it need a 12V transformer?

Yes. The Erinus runs on 12V DC, so it must be fed from a 12V transformer or driver rather than connected directly to mains. Several units can usually share one suitably rated supply along a stair or hallway run.

Can it be used outdoors?

No. This fitting is rated IP20, which means dry indoor use only. Keep it out of bathrooms, porches and any damp or exposed position, and use it for indoor stairs, landings and hallways instead.

How is it installed?

It is a recessed mount fitting that sits flush in the wall, dropping into a round cut-out sized for its Ø75 mm body. At only 20g it places little load on the wall once wired to the 12V supply.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the white face gently with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth once power is off. Avoid solvents and abrasive pads so the plastic finish stays clear, and never use a soaking wet cloth given the indoor IP20 rating.
