Hinkley Taper 1-Light LED Step Light | Modern Satin Black Aluminum and Etched Lens | Outdoor Stair & Walkway Lighting | 1 x 4.5 x 3.25 in | Model 1563SK

A low-voltage LED step light for outdoor stairs, walkways, and patios, finished in satin black aluminum with an etched lens.

The Taper series from Hinkley seamlessly blends into architectural elements, providing subtle illumination for steps and pathways. Made of durable aluminum with an etched lens, this recessed step light includes an integrated LED rated for over 40,000 hours. Its low-voltage design is practical and safer for outdoor settings, enhancing both safety and ambiance.

Best for

• Outdoor stairs and steps, recessed into risers or deck surfaces for even illumination
• Walkways and pathways, mounted flush to guide footing
• Patios and decks, integrated into steps or low walls for ambient accent
• Covered or open outdoor areas rated for wet locations

Not ideal for

• Indoor-only spaces where a higher lumen output is needed for primary lighting
• Areas requiring a wide flood beam pattern (this is a narrow step light)

How bright is it?

160 lumens - about as bright as a 15W incandescent bulb, ideal for accent and safety lighting on steps, not for general area illumination.

Light color and feel

2700K warm white - a soft, golden tone similar to traditional incandescent. CRI 90 ensures accurate color rendering for outdoor materials.
