EXIN 80x80 2.5W LED Step Light IP65 Cool White - Grey

The EXIN is a recessed square LED step light that pushes a soft 50 lumens of light at a crisp 4000K cool white. Running at 2.5W from a 220-240V AC supply, it sits flush within the wall to wash light gently downward across treads, paths and thresholds rather than lighting a whole room. In the US this style of fitting is generally sold as a recessed step light, and the principle is the same: a low-output marker that picks out a change in level without glare. The square 80mm face and shallow profile keep it discreet once installed, with the light directed onto the surface immediately below it.

Because the output is deliberately low, this fitting is about way-marking rather than ambient brightness, so think in terms of the throw across a step or short run of path rather than coverage in m². It suits outdoor staircases, garden steps, low retaining walls, porches and the base of exterior walls where a run of fittings can mark a route after dark. Spacing several units evenly along a flight of steps or a path edge gives a steady line of low-level guidance underfoot. The cool white tone keeps edges and surfaces clearly defined, which helps with footing on uneven or wet ground.

The body is aluminium alloy in a grey finish, and the IP65 rating means it is fully weatherproof and rated for exposed outdoor and wet locations. It mounts recessed into the wall, so it needs a suitable cut-out at the chosen height above the tread, with the fitting sitting flush to the face. The integrated LED is rated for 30,000 hours and the fitting is not dimmable. At 80 × 80 × 48 mm and 130g it is compact and light enough to set into most masonry or render. The EXIN range includes further step and ground fittings for matching a scheme across a project.

Is this step light 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 garden steps, paths, porches and exterior walls.

How is it installed?

It is a recessed fitting that sets flush into the wall, so it needs a suitable cut-out at your chosen height above the step or path. The 80 × 80 mm square face and 48mm depth let it sit neatly within most masonry or render once wired in.

What voltage does it run on?

The EXIN runs directly from a standard 220-240V AC mains supply at 2.5W, so no separate low-voltage transformer is required. It should be wired by a qualified electrician in line with outdoor wiring regulations.

How should it be cleaned?

Wipe the front face with a soft, damp cloth to clear dirt, dust or garden debris, then dry it off. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads on the aluminium body and lens so the finish and IP65 seal stay intact.
