EXIN 80x80 2.5W PIR Step Light Warm White - Grey

The EXIN is a recessed LED step light with a built-in PIR sensor, designed to mark steps, paths and low-level edges with a soft 50 lumen glow. It draws just 2.5W and runs on 220-240V AC mains, giving a fixed 3000K warm white tone that suits exterior routes without harsh brightness. The motion sensor brings the light up only when someone approaches, so it stays dark between passes. Sold in the UK as a step light, this fitting is what American buyers tend to look for under step light or recessed stair light, and the square 80mm format keeps it discreet once set into the wall face.

The EXIN suits outdoor steps, garden walls, raised decking edges and entrance routes where a low marker light makes footing safer after dark. Its output is deliberately gentle, so think of it as edge and tread marking rather than general area lighting; it picks out the step itself and the immediate floor below rather than flooding a space. Because it sits flush in the wall at low level, it works well in a run along a flight of steps or down a path, each one waking as you pass. The PIR keeps energy use low and avoids leaving lights burning all night across a longer route.

Built from aluminium alloy in a grey finish, the EXIN carries an IP65 rating, so it is weatherproof and rated for fully exposed outdoor and wet locations. It recesses into the wall through a square 80x80mm aperture, with an overall depth of 48mm to allow for the body behind the face, and weighs just 134g. The fixed 3000K warm white output is not dimmable, and the integrated LED is rated for 30,000 hours of use. This step light sits within the wider Exin range, which includes further low-level outdoor markers in matching finishes.

Is the EXIN suitable for outdoor use?

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

Does it need a separate transformer or driver?

No. The EXIN runs directly from 220-240V AC mains, so there is no need for a 12V transformer. You simply wire it into a mains supply at the point where it recesses into the wall.

How is it installed?

The EXIN is a recessed mount fitting that sets flush into the wall face through an 80x80mm square aperture, with 48mm of depth behind for the body. It is intended to sit at low level along steps or paths rather than being surface-mounted.

How should the fitting be cleaned?

Wipe the face with a soft damp cloth to clear dust, grime and any garden splashes that dull the output. Avoid abrasive cleaners on the aluminium alloy body, and make sure the lens is clear so the PIR sensor reads movement reliably.
