Sola 1.3W Recessed LED Step Light Warm White - Steel

The Sola is a recessed LED step light that sits flush in the wall to mark a level change or guide movement along a hallway. It runs on a 1.3W integrated LED drawing from a 220-240V AC supply and gives out 13 lumens at a fixed 3000K warm white tone, so the light reads soft rather than clinical. In US terms this kind of low-level marker is the recessed step light you would see set into staircase risers and corridor walls. The round face measures just Ø70 mm, keeping the fitting discreet against the surface it sits in.

Indoor stairwells, landings and hallway walls are where this fitting earns its place, fixed low to wash a gentle pool of light across treads and the floor immediately below. With only 13 lumens it is a wayfinding and accent light rather than a source of general room brightness, so plan it as one of several markers spaced down a flight or along a passage rather than expecting it to light a whole space. The narrow downward spill keeps glare out of eyeline when you are climbing or descending. Because it is rated IP20 it belongs strictly to dry indoor positions, so keep it clear of bathrooms, porches and any outdoor wall.

Construction is polished stainless steel with a plastic body behind it, finished in stainless steel for a clean metal face that suits modern interiors. The fitting is recessed mount, dropping into a prepared opening in the wall so only the round trim shows. It is not dimmable and the warm white output is fixed at 3000K, while the rated lifespan of 50,000 hours means very little upkeep over its life. At 110 g it is light to handle during installation. The wider Sola range covers further low-level marker formats if you are lighting a run of steps or a longer corridor.

Does this step light need a separate 12V transformer?

No. The Sola runs directly from a 220-240V AC mains supply, so it does not need a low-voltage transformer or driver. It can be wired into a standard mains circuit during installation.

Can it be used outdoors or in a bathroom?

No. This fitting is rated IP20, which means dry indoor use only. Keep it out of bathrooms, porches and any exposed or damp location, and reserve it for indoor stairwells, landings and hallways.

How is it installed?

It is a recessed mount fitting, so it drops into a prepared opening in the wall and sits flush with only the round Ø70 mm face on show. Position it low on the wall near treads or along a passage for the best marking effect.

How do I clean the face?

Wipe the polished stainless steel trim with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth to keep it bright. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh cleaners, which can mark the steel finish over time.
