Sonic 5-in Aluminum Outdoor Step Light

A step light does its work by being invisible. The Sonic 5-in Aluminum Outdoor Step Light recesses into the wall of a stair run or a retaining wall and washes 250 lumens downward across the tread below, so you see the edge without seeing the source. It is wet, IP65 rated and draws only 4W.

Finish Options and Build

Aluminum + Glass makes up the body, offered in Black, Brushed Nickel, Espresso, Gray and White. Width is 3", height is 5", and it projects 1-1/2" from the mounting surface. The housing is sealed to IP65, which covers driven rain and hose-down cleaning. It is ADA compliant, which is what lets it go along a public walkway or a corridor.

Specifications and Design Details

The specs that matter before you buy: 250 lumens at 4W; 3000K color temperature; 90 CRI; an AC LED Module rated for 50,000 hours; dims 100% to 10% on ELV controls; 120V supply; wet, IP65 location rated; light aimed downward; overall size W3" x H5" x E1-1/2"; ETL listed, ADA compliant. The dimmer is sold separately, so check your existing wall control before you order. This fixture is offered in both a line voltage and a 12V version, so match the SKU to the circuit you are feeding.

Where This Step Light Works

A few places this one earns its spot. On an exterior stair or a deck edge, where the light needs to reach the tread and nothing else. On a retaining wall or a garden wall, recessed so the fixture face sits flush. Beside a walkway or a driveway edge, spaced to overlap pools of light rather than leave dark gaps.
