NUVO Lighting 65-401 LED Vertical Step Light, 3W, Bronze Finish, 120V

Yes. The 65-401 step light carries a Wet location rating and is listed for outdoor use, so it can go on exterior stairs, retaining walls, and entry steps exposed to direct rain. It is cULus safety listed.

The fixture body measures 1.63 x 3.00 x 5.00 inches (L x W x H) and mounts as a vertical step strip, so it sets into the riser or wall face in the tall orientation rather than horizontally. Plan the rough opening and box location around those dimensions before the masonry or siding closes up.

It runs on 120V line voltage. No separate low-voltage transformer or driver is required, which is what separates it from landscape-style 12V path and step lights. Wire it to a standard 120V circuit.

No. The LED is integrated, not a replaceable lamp, so there is no socket and no bulb to change. Rated life is 50,000 hours, after which the whole fixture is swapped. For maintenance crews that stock relamps, that is the tradeoff worth knowing up front.

The 65-401 is dimmable, so it can be run from a 120V dimming control rather than a plain switch. The LED is integrated at 3W drawing, so a stairwell run of several fixtures stays a very small load on the dimmer.

At 200 lumens each, these are stair-marking fixtures, not area lights. They wash the tread directly below and define the step edge. For a full stairway you space several down the run; if you need to light the whole landing or walkway, pair them with a wall pack or sconce rather than relying on step lights alone. Color rendering is 80 CRI at a fixed color temperature (not CCT selectable).

The housing is die-cast aluminum with a bronze finish, which is the standard choice for exterior step and riser lighting because it does not rust like steel. Combined with the wet location rating it handles rain, snowmelt, and sprinkler spray. Weight is 0.43 lbs, so it puts almost no load on the mounting substrate.

Bronze is the finish offered on the 65-401. If you are standardizing step lights across a property and the other risers are a different color, confirm the bronze will match before you commit a bulk order.

Yes. The 65-401 is reported under California Proposition 65 for lead. It is also RoHS compliant. Institutional and government buyers who need Prop 65 disclosure in submittals should carry that notation through.
