Collection: Outdoor Step & Stair Lights

Essential Safety and Style with Outdoor Step Lights

Outdoor Step Lights are dedicated, low-profile fixtures engineered specifically for illuminating stairs, steps, and retaining walls. These durable LED fixtures are critical for improving safety by ensuring every tread and riser is clearly visible after dark. Whether you need fixtures for deck stairs, stone, concrete, or brick lights, our outdoor stair lights provide focused, low-glare illumination.

The Critical Role of Step and Stair Lighting

• Maximum Safety on Stairs: The primary function of outdoor step lights is hazard mitigation. By placing the light source directly at the step level, they clearly define the edge and depth of each tread, minimizing the risk of trips and falls, especially on deck stair lights and masonry steps.
• Durable, Weatherproof Construction: Since they are installed close to the ground and masonry, our fixtures are waterproof and built from robust materials like heavy-duty aluminum or brass. This ensures they withstand constant moisture, debris, and temperature fluctuations.
• Recessed or Surface Mount Options: We offer versatile installation types:
  • Recessed Outdoor Step Lights: These fixtures are designed to be integrated flush into walls or masonry risers for a completely seamless, architectural look.
  • Surface Mount: For existing deck stairs, these fixtures mount directly onto the riser or post face.
• Low Glare Illumination: The compact, louvered design of most LED step lights outdoor directs light sharply downward onto the tread, protecting the eyes of pedestrians and maintaining comfortable nighttime visibility.
• Seamless Hardscape Integration: Our collection includes options perfect for integrating into block or stone, such as specialized concrete step lights and brick lights, creating a polished, professional look for your hardscape.

Optimal Placement for Step Lights

Proper placement of outdoor stair lights ensures maximum safety and the best visual effect:

• Riser Placement (Most Common): The ideal placement is recessing the fixture into the vertical riser of the stair (or mounting it just beneath the step nosing). This directs the light onto the tread below, maximizing safety and minimizing glare.
• Frequency: For critical safety, place one light on every riser. For less frequently used or wider stairs, placing a light on every other riser can be acceptable, provided the entire tread remains clearly visible.
• Side Wall/Stringer Placement: For enclosed staircases, fixtures can be mounted into the side wall or stringer alongside the steps, casting light horizontally across the treads.
• Elevation Changes: Use the same recessed outdoor step lights to illuminate changes in elevation on retaining walls or ledges that abut your stairs, ensuring a consistent lighting design.
