MAREN ROUND STAIR DOWNLIGHT

The Maren is a ø44 mm recessed stair downlight — 2 W, 150 lm, CRI above 90, three colour temperatures — and it comes with three interchangeable frames.

Three frames in the box — black, gold and white

This is the reason to choose it, and the old page mentioned it without dwelling on it. You do not pick a finish at purchase: all three textured frames are supplied, and they swap. So you can decide on site once the wall is painted, use different frames in different rooms from one order, or change one later when the room changes. Nothing else in this range works that way.

Tiny — a 44 mm hole

ø44 mm and 28 mm deep. That is a very small cut-out, which matters in two ways: it goes into thin walls and shallow cavities where a 75 mm step light will not, and it is visually discreet — a run down a staircase reads as a line of small points rather than a row of fittings.

150 lumens is guidance, not illumination

Be clear on what it does: it shows you where the step is. It will not light the stair. Used as intended — one every few treads, or along a hallway skirting — that is exactly right, and 2 W each means a run of ten draws 20 W.

CRI above 90 on a 2-watt fitting

Unusual at this size and genuinely useful: it is grazing timber treads, stone, carpet or render at close range, and colour accuracy is what stops those surfaces looking grey-green in the dark.

2700 K is available — and it is the right choice on a stair

2700 K, 3000 K or 4000 K, selected on the fitting. On a stair used at night, the warmest setting disturbs dark-adapted eyes least — and 2700 K is warmer than most step lights offer.

Round or square

Maren is made in both shapes, on the same platform — round for curved or rendered walls, square where the stair detailing is orthogonal.

Where it works

• Internal stair risers — one every few treads.
• Thin walls and shallow cavities, where larger step lights will not fit.
• Hallway skirtings, as night guidance.
• Commercial stairs and corridors.
