The Ardam Surface Mounted Rectangular Step or Wall Light offers sleek, architectural lighting in a compact and durable design. Built with a poly powder-coated aluminium or solid brass housing, this fixture is ideal for low-level illumination along paths, stairs, and walls. Its built-in dimmable LED and tri-colour selection make it a versatile choice for ambient and practical lighting outdoors. Rated IP65, it’s built to withstand the elements with style.
Choosing a driver
This light runs on 12v DC, so it needs a 12v LED driver (sometimes called a transformer). It cannot connect straight to 240v mains. The driver is wired in by a licensed electrician.
Allow 3w for each light and add about 20% headroom. 10 lights draw 30w, so they need a 12v driver of at least 36w, which in practice means a 60w driver.

For bigger installs, split the lights across two or more drivers and place each driver close to its group. Long cable runs at low voltage lose brightness at the far end, so check your cable size with our voltage drop calculator.
Outdoors, use a weatherproof IP66 12v driver and mount it above ground, clear of garden beds and pooling water.
To dim, pair it with a dimmable 12v driver and a compatible dimmer.
