Lisca Rectangular Surface Mounted Step Light

Lisca is a rectangular surface-mounted step light behind clear perspex, rated IP65 and IK08 — a combination that makes it one of the more robust fittings in this group, suited to positions that take both weather and knocks. This listing sells it in both 12 V and 240 V, in black or white, at the same price, and 5 W gives 200 lm at 3000K, 220 lm at 4000K and 210 lm at 5500K regardless of which you choose.

The choice to make: which voltage the wall is fed with

• HV3229T-BLK-240V / HV3229T-WHT-240V — 240 V, wires straight to mains with no driver or transformer. Fewest parts, fewest things to fail.
• HV3229T-BLK-12V / HV3229T-WHT-12V — 12 V DC, which requires a 12 V DC LED driver and must never be connected directly to 240 V. Worth it when a run of fittings can share one driver.

Since the output and the price match, decide on the circuit, not the light. A single fitting near an existing mains point is almost always a 240 V job; six down a garden path is almost always a 12 V one.

Where it works

• Exposed external stairs and landings — IP65 handles driving rain and hose washing.
• Public and strata walkways, where IK08 impact resistance matters on a low-mounted fitting.
• Pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining steps, mounted on the riser wall to graze the paving.
• Carpark and basement access ramps on a mains circuit, using the 240 V variant.

Specifying it

Surface-mounted, so there is no cutout to core and no canister to buy — it fixes to the wall face with a cable penetration behind. Tri-colour selectable at install across 3000K, 4000K and 5500K; set every fitting on one flight the same. On the 12 V variants, keep each fitting within 25 m of its driver or the warranty does not apply, and size the driver for the whole circuit's wattage. The LED is built in on all four variants — no globe is needed or possible. Not dimmable. Installation by a licensed electrician.

Backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.
