EXIN 2.5W LED Step Light Ø80 Round Warm White - White

The EXIN is a recessed LED step light that beds into the wall to mark a level change with a soft pool of light at foot height. It draws 2.5W and puts out 50 lumens in a fixed 3000K warm white, mains-powered from a 220-240V AC supply rather than a low-voltage feed. American buyers will recognise this format as a recessed step or stair light, the small round trim that washes downward onto the tread below. The round face measures Ø80mm and sits nearly flush, so the fitting reads as a discreet glow rather than a visible lamp.

Outdoors, the EXIN suits steps, garden paths, decking edges and low retaining walls where you want the route picked out underfoot without lighting the whole space. This is marking and wayfinding light, not ambient room lighting, so think of it as a guide along an escape or access route rather than a fitting that covers an area. At 50 lumens the warm tone keeps glare low and the throw short, washing the tread or path directly beneath it, which is why these are usually run as a series down a flight or along a run rather than spaced far apart. Set them at a consistent height in each riser or wall face so the lit pattern stays even.

The body is aluminium alloy in a white finish, rated IP65 so it copes with exposed outdoor positions, driving rain and wet ground-level locations. Mounting is recessed into the wall, dropping into a round cut-out to sit close to the surface, and the fitting is not dimmable. Rated for around 30,000 hours at a fixed 3000K, it is built to stay in place once set. The wider Exin range includes matching outputs and tones for running a coordinated scheme across steps and walls.

Does the EXIN need a 12V transformer or driver?

No. This version runs directly from a 220-240V AC mains supply, so no separate low-voltage transformer or driver is required. It wires into a standard mains feed at the recess position.

Can it be used outdoors and in wet locations?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against dust and water jets from any direction. That makes it suitable for exposed outdoor steps, paths and walls, including positions that get direct rain.

How is it installed?

The EXIN is a recessed mount that fits into a round cut-out in the wall, so the Ø80mm face sits close to flush. It is designed to be set into a riser, retaining wall or path edge rather than surface-mounted on top.

How do I keep it clean?

Wipe the white aluminium face and the lens with a soft damp cloth to clear dust, splashes and garden debris. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh solvents so the finish and the IP65 seal stay intact, and clean it occasionally to keep the warm light output looking even.
