EXIN 80x80 2.5W LED Step Light PIR Warm White - Black

The EXIN is a recessed LED step light with a built-in PIR sensor, designed to mark steps, paths and low-level walkways. It draws 2.5W and gives a soft 50 lumen output at a warm 3000K, the kind of low glow that picks out a tread or edge without dazzling anyone walking past. The motion sensor brings the light up as someone approaches, so it stays dark until needed. In the US this same low-level fitting is usually sold as a recessed step light, and the square 80mm format sits neatly into a stair riser, retaining wall or decking upstand.

Because this is a marker light rather than ambient room lighting, think of it in terms of pinpointing a hazard rather than covering an area. The 50 lumen warm output throws a gentle wash across one or two treads, enough to make a step visible underfoot on a porch, garden stair, deck edge or boundary path. Several units spaced along a run of steps give a clear visual line in the dark, with the PIR meaning they only fire when there is movement nearby. It suits both domestic entrances and shared outdoor stairwells where a constant glare would be unwelcome.

The body is aluminium alloy in a black finish, with an IP65 rating that makes it weatherproof and fit for fully exposed outdoor and wet locations. It runs from 220 to 240V AC mains and recesses into the wall, with the square 80 x 80 x 48mm housing dropping into a prepared aperture so the face sits flush. It is not dimmable, which suits a fixed marker output, and the rated lifespan is around 30,000 hours. We also list other fittings in the Exin range if you want to match the look across a scheme.

Does it need a separate 12V transformer?

No. The EXIN runs directly from 220 to 240V AC mains, so no low-voltage transformer or external driver is required. You simply wire it to a mains supply at the point of installation.

Is it suitable for outdoor and wet locations?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is weatherproof and protected against water jets, so it can be used in fully exposed outdoor positions. It is well suited to garden steps, porches, deck edges and boundary paths.

How does it install into a wall?

It is a recessed wall fitting, so the 80 x 80 x 48mm square housing drops into a prepared aperture and sits flush with the surface. It works well in stair risers, retaining walls and decking upstands at low level.

How do I keep it clean?

Wipe the face over occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to clear dust, grit and any garden debris from the lens, with the power off. Avoid harsh solvents on the black aluminium so the finish stays intact, and a gentle clean keeps the warm output looking bright.
