Exin 80x80 2.5W PIR LED Step Light Cool White - Grey

The Exin is a recessed step light with a built-in PIR sensor, drawing just 2.5W to put out 50 lumens at a crisp 4000K cool white. It sits flush in the wall and casts a low, downward wash of light across treads and thresholds, with the motion sensor bringing it on only when someone approaches. Anyone shopping US listings will recognise this style of fitting as a recessed step light too, the small square marker that lights a stair edge rather than a whole space. The square 80 by 80 mm face keeps the visible footprint tidy against brick, render or stone.

The Exin suits outdoor steps, garden walls, porch thresholds and pathway edging where a low marker light makes a flight or a level change safe to read in the dark. Because it is a directional marker rather than ambient room lighting, think of its output as edge and footing definition rather than area coverage: the 50 lumens grazes the surface immediately below and to the sides of the fitting, picking out the line of a step. The PIR means it stays dark until movement is detected, so it works well on a route that is only used occasionally. Recess it at shin or ankle height so the light falls onto the tread or path below.

Built from aluminium alloy in a grey finish, the Exin carries an IP65 rating, so it is sealed against rain and outdoor wet locations as well as indoor use. It recesses into the wall via a cut-out, with the body set back so the face sits flush, and the integrated PIR sensor is housed within the fitting so there is nothing separate to wire or mount. The LED is fixed at 4000K cool white and the fitting is not dimmable. This model is part of the wider Exin range, which includes further sensor and marker options.

Is the Exin suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. It carries an IP65 rating, which means it is sealed against dust and water jets, so it is suitable for exposed outdoor steps and walls as well as sheltered and indoor positions. It withstands rain and damp without issue.

How does the PIR sensor work?

The built-in PIR sensor detects movement nearby and switches the light on automatically, then off again after the area is clear. This keeps the fitting dark when the route is not in use and lights the step only as someone approaches, which suits paths and stairs used occasionally.

How is the Exin installed?

It is a recessed wall fitting, so it sets into a cut-out in the wall with the square face left flush. Position it at shin or ankle height above the step or path so the 50 lumens falls downward onto the surface you want to mark.

How should I clean the Exin?

Wipe the face with a soft, damp cloth to clear dust, cobwebs or splashes, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or solvents on the aluminium and lens. As it is rated IP65, light outdoor cleaning poses no risk to the sealed body.
