EXIN 80x80 2.5W LED Step Light Cool White - White

The EXIN is a recessed LED step light built into a compact 80 by 80 mm square body, drawing 2.5W to put out 50 lumens at a crisp 4000K cool white. American buyers searching for a recessed step light will find this sits in the same family as a low-level marker fitting, throwing a soft, controlled wash rather than broad illumination. It runs on a 220-240V AC mains supply and measures just 48 mm deep, so it tucks neatly into a wall recess at ankle or knee height. The square aluminium alloy face stays flush once installed, giving a clean, low-glare pool of light directed onto the surface below.

The EXIN is made for marking out steps, stairways, garden walls and pathway edges where a defined glow improves safety after dark. Because it is a low-level marker and not an ambient room light, it does not flood a space with brightness. Instead the 50 lumen output picks out the immediate tread, riser or path edge below it, casting a tight downward wash that guides footing without dazzle. It works well set into the side wall of an external staircase, a porch threshold or a boundary wall, spaced at intervals so each fitting marks its own section of the route.

Built from aluminium alloy with a white finish, the EXIN carries an IP65 rating, so it is fully weatherproof and rated for exposed outdoor and wet locations. It is a recessed mount design, fitted into a prepared opening in the wall so the face sits flush with the surrounding surface. The fitting is not dimmable, and with an integrated LED rated to 30,000 hours there is no bulb to replace over its working life. It weighs 130 g and runs directly from a standard mains supply. The wider EXIN range covers further step and marker options in matching square formats.

Is the EXIN suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is fully weatherproof and rated for exposed outdoor and wet locations. It is well suited to external steps, garden walls and pathway edges that take direct weather.

Does it need a separate transformer or driver?

No. This EXIN runs directly from a standard 220-240V AC mains supply, so it does not require a 12V transformer. It can be wired in as part of a mains lighting circuit.

How is it installed?

It is a recessed mount fitting, set into a prepared opening in the wall so the 80 by 80 mm square face finishes flush with the surface. At only 48 mm deep it suits ankle or knee-height positions on steps and boundary walls.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the white aluminium face with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the finish. Its IP65 rating means the recessed face copes well with outdoor grime and the occasional rinse.
