Popular types of outdoor step lights
Choosing the right step lights outdoor depends on your desired aesthetic and functional needs. Three popular styles offer distinct advantages for integrating into your landscape.
Recessed step lights
Recessed step lights are installed directly into the step or wall, creating a clean, seamless look. These fixtures, like our FUSION and HYVE series, are perfect for a minimalist design, providing subtle, downward illumination that is flush with the surface. They are ideal for modern and contemporary outdoor spaces where a discreet lighting solution is preferred.
Surface-mounted & undercap lights
Where drilling a recessed fixture into every step isn't practical, surface-mounted and undercap lights mount onto or under the stair nosing and wash light down the riser onto the tread below. For a modern, streamlined look, EVO HYDE and EVO HYDE 550 are excellent choices. On wide stair steps, install multiple lights side by side for even coverage.
Prefer a more playful, creative effect? Flexible EVO HYDE is a linear alternative that comes in various lengths, can be cut to size, and even follows curved or organic shapes. It adapts to any staircase, from a straight concrete flight to winding garden steps.
Wall lights for outdoor stairs
Outdoor wall lights are an excellent choice for stair lighting, especially when stairs lead to a covered area or run alongside a wall or fence. Fixtures like the sleek MINI WEDGE and CUBID offer both style and functionality. Their wide, diffused beams provide ample illumination, ensuring every step is clearly visible and safe to navigate.
