A 2-inch recessed step light for indoor stairs, hallways and under-cabinet runs. It drops into a 1-5/16" hole and grips the drywall with spring clips, so there's no housing to frame in.
1W gives you 20 lumens at 5000K, CRI above 80, and a 60 degree beam aimed down at the tread. Three finishes: black, white, brushed nickel.
One-piece die-cast aluminum, cETL listed, rated 50,000 hours, backed 3 years.
Do LED step lights need a transformer?
Yes, and this one needs a specific type. The fixture runs on 12V DC and the driver isn't in the box. You'll need a 120V AC to 12V DC supply sized for the whole run plus headroom. At 1W a fixture the load stays small, so one modest supply carries a long flight.
Read this twice. A standard landscape lighting transformer puts out 12V AC, not DC. They aren't interchangeable. Confirm output type before anything gets wired.
What size hole does a recessed step light need?
Cut 1-5/16 inches, or 33 mm. The body wants 1-13/32 inches (36 mm) of clear depth behind the wall, and the 2-inch face covers the cut. Squeeze the clips, push it in, done. Nothing screws to a stud.
Set your locations at rough-in. The lead wire is about 12 inches, so the low-voltage home run has to be pulled before the wall closes.
Where can you install an IP20 step light?
Indoors. IP20 means no water protection, so this belongs on interior stairs, in hallways, along toe-kicks and under cabinets. The cETL damp-location listing covers humidity and condensation, which puts a bathroom or an enclosed stairwell in scope.
It isn't a walkway or garden fixture. Anything weather-exposed needs a wet-rated product, and the operating range bottoms out at -20C anyway.
Why the 60 degree beam matters on a stair
The lens sits deep in the housing and throws a narrow cone downward. What you see is the lit tread, not the source. That's the difference between marking a step and putting a bright dot at eye level halfway up the flight.
At 5000K the output reads neutral against stone, concrete and pale wood.
