Sola 0.8W LED Step Light Recessed Round Cool White - Black

The Sola is a recessed LED step light that sets into the wall to wash a low, guiding glow across stairs and floors. It draws just 0.8W and runs on 12V DC, producing 14 lumens of cool white light at 4000K with a colour rendering of Ra 80. American buyers searching for an indoor recessed step light will recognise the same low-level downward marking format here, sized to a compact round face rather than a bulky surface fitting. The output is deliberately gentle, marking the edge of a tread or the line of a hallway without flooding the space.

Because the light it gives is low and directional, this fitting is about marking a route rather than lighting a whole room, so its coverage is best judged by the pool of light it lays at floor level rather than any room-size figure. It suits indoor staircases, landings, hallways and along the base of a wall where a soft reference glow helps footing after dark. With an IP20 rating it is for dry interior locations only, so it should be kept clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor or damp position. Set into the wall at low level, it spaces well in a run to trace a flight of steps or a corridor.

The body pairs polished stainless steel with plastic and carries a black finish on the visible face. It recesses into the wall, matching its Recessed Mount In The Wall specification, so the front sits flush once installed. The 14 lumen LED is rated for 50,000 hours, and at 0.8W on a 12V DC supply it adds very little load to a low-voltage circuit. It is not dimmable, and the round Ø70 mm face weighs only 66 g. The Sola sits within a wider range of low-level marker fittings should a matching look be needed across several steps.

Does it need a 12V transformer or driver?

Yes. The Sola runs on 12V DC rather than mains voltage, so it must be wired to a suitable low-voltage transformer or driver. Several fittings can be run from one transformer of adequate rating, which keeps a stair run on a single supply.

Can it be used outdoors?

No. With an IP20 rating it is rated for dry indoor use only, so it should not be fitted in porches, gardens, bathrooms or any damp or exposed position. For indoor stairs, landings and hallways it is well suited.

How is it installed?

It is a recessed fitting that sets into the wall at low level, leaving the round Ø70 mm face flush with the surface. This gives a clean look with no protruding body, ideal for marking the edge of treads or the line of a hallway.

How should it be cleaned and maintained?

Wipe the black face gently with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth to clear dust and marks; avoid abrasive cleaners on the finish. With a rated lifespan of 50,000 hours the LED needs no routine bulb changes.
