{"product_id":"lisca-round-black-surface-mounted-step-light-hv3227t","title":"Lisca Round Black Surface Mounted Step Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lisca is the round one, and it is the least expensive fitting in this range — which makes it the\ndefault choice when a flight of steps needs six or eight fittings rather than one or two. A circular face\nsits differently from a square or rectangular step light: it reads as a marker rather than a panel, and\nit suits rendered or rough-textured walls where a rectangle has to line up with something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eTwo order codes, and only one of them needs a driver\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing sells both voltages at the same price, and the bodies are identical, so the order code is\nthe only thing that tells them apart:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ccode\u003eHV3227T-BLK-240V\u003c\/code\u003e wires straight to mains.

For a run of six or more, the 12 V code is usually better: one\ndriver feeds the lot, and no earth is needed at each fitting, which matters when they are spread along a\nwall.

At this price the temptation is to buy one and see — but buy the whole\nflight together, because tri-colour LEDs from different production batches can differ very slightly in\ntint, and on a row of fittings that difference is visible when a single replacement never would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lfy-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between the two order codes?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"lfy-faq-a\"\u003eOne is 240 V AC and wires straight to mains; the other is 12 V DC and needs a 12 V DC LED driver.
