The Sako Recessed LED Step Light is a compact lighting solution designed for subtle and reliable illumination of walls and steps. Its mini size and integrated eyelid help direct light downward while reducing glare, making it ideal for discreet architectural lighting. Constructed from marine-grade stainless steel, it is well suited to coastal and outdoor environments. With tri-colour selection, it allows you to tailor the light tone to suit your space.
Must be used with suitable 12v DC LED driver. All 316 Stainless Steel fittings require a maintenance routine.
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 1.5w for each light and add about 20% headroom. 10 lights draw 15w, so they need a 12v driver of at least 18w, which in practice means a 30w 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.
