Wall & Step
Light where the architecture meets you.
Wall washing, up-and-down wall lights, stair risers, bathroom and joinery lighting. Asymmetric optics that graze a finished wall evenly — no scalloping, no hot band at the top, no glare at eye height.
Six families between floor and ceiling.
The gap between a downlight and a cove is where most projects look unfinished. These six families cover the vertical surfaces, the circulation edges and the wet zones.
Wall Washer
Surface-mounted asymmetric luminaire for feature walls, reception backdrops and stone cladding. The offset optic throws light across the plane instead of down it, so the wash stays even from floor to lintel.
- Asymmetric wall-wash optic
- 12–36W, 300–3200lm
- IP20 interior, IP65 exterior option
- Surface or recessed body
Up / Down Wall Light
Bi-directional wall luminaire for corridors, villa entrances and columns. Separate up and down circuits let you run the upper beam only at night and keep the lower one for wayfinding.
- Dual emission, separately switched
- 2 × 6W to 2 × 18W
- IP65, IK08
- Die-cast aluminium, RAL any
Step & Riser Light
Recessed stair luminaire for riser, stringer or wall-mounted detail. A shielded 24V source with a louvre that keeps the beam on the tread and out of the eye of anyone coming down the stairs.
- IP65, 24V SELV
- 3–8W per step
- Recessed or surface body
- Warm-dim and motion options
Bathroom IP44 Downlight
Wet-zone downlight for bathrooms, spas and wet rooms. IP44 minimum for zones 1 and 2, with an IP65 variant for shower ceilings and steam rooms.
- IP44 standard, IP65 option
- 6–18W, UGR<19
- CRI 90+, 2700–4000K
- Sealed opal or lensed optic
Under-Cabinet & Shelf
Slim 24V linear for joinery, wardrobes, kitchen cabinets and display shelving. Supplied in cut-to-length runs with a diffuser that hides the LED pitch from a seated eye line.
- 24V SELV, 4–12W/m
- 10–16mm profile options
- Opal diffuser, dot-free
- Cut-to-length with connectors
Mirror & Vanity
Horizontal or vertical vanity luminaire for hospitality bathrooms and dressing areas. High CRI and a diffused front so the face is lit evenly rather than from a single hot source above.
- CRI 95, R9 > 90
- IP44, 8–28W
- Horizontal and vertical bodies
- Integral sensor or touch dim option
Vertical surfaces, measured properly.
Wall lighting is judged on uniformity and on what the finish looks like afterwards. These are the parameters that decide both.
Three answers that pick the family.
Wall and step lighting is mostly decided by the zone and the wall finish, not by wattage.
Is it a wet zone?
Bathroom zones 1 and 2 need IP44 minimum; a shower ceiling or steam room needs IP65. Steps and external walls need IP65 regardless of how sheltered they look — cleaning water finds its way in.
Do you want the wall lit, or an object on it?
Lit wall → asymmetric wall washer at 100–300mm offset. Object on the wall → narrow accent or up/down so the fixture does not flatten the thing it is meant to reveal.
What is the wall finish?
Polished marble shows every scallop; micro-cement and textured plaster hide a lot. On smooth stone, the asymmetric offset optic is mandatory — a symmetric downlight will produce visible cones within a metre.
Send the wall elevations and we'll mark the fixture positions and offsets.
Get a recommendationScalloping is an optics problem, not an installation problem.
When a wall wash shows a row of bright arcs, the usual fix on site is to space the fixtures further apart. That reduces the symptom and leaves the wall unevenly lit. The actual cause sits inside the luminaire.
Offset lens, not a diffuser
A symmetric downlight throws a cone at the wall; the arc you see is the cone's top edge. An asymmetric optic uses an offset TIR lens to bend the beam sideways so its long axis runs parallel to the wall plane. The distribution, not the spacing, is what removes the scallop.
Setback distance sets uniformity
At 100mm from the wall the wash is high and narrow; at 300mm it is softer and reaches lower. We publish the uniformity ratio for each setback so the detail can be drawn correctly at first fix, rather than adjusted on site with a drill.
Grazing angle and wall texture
Below about 15° to the wall plane, light starts to reveal every trowel mark and joint. On fine plaster we aim for 20–30° of grazing; on rough stone or brick we can go shallower on purpose, because the texture is the point.
The result: a published uniformity ratio per setback, an optic that keeps the source hidden from normal viewing angles, and a wall detail that works on polished stone as well as textured plaster. Ask for the wall-wash calculation with the IES file.

Photometrics, setback diagrams, IP documentation and DWG details for plaster-in frames and step recesses.
Where wall and step lighting carries the detail.
Corridor sequences, bathroom suites and feature walls are where this line does most of its work.
Hospitality Lighting
Corridor wayfinding, guest bathroom vanities and reception feature walls across hotel projects.
Luxury Residential
Villa staircases, marble feature walls and joinery lighting specified as one coordinated package.
Retail Lighting
Grazing walls behind display fixtures and shelf lighting that keeps merchandise evenly lit.
Checked at the finish line. Every unit.
On wall and wet-area products the appearance matters as much as the photometry — so both are inspected before packing.
Photometric Verification
Flux, efficacy, CCT and CRI verified in the integrating sphere to LM-79 methodology.
Wall Uniformity Check
Sample walls illuminated at the specified setback to confirm the wash has no visible hot band or scallop.
Wet-Zone IP Testing
IP44 and IP65 variants checked with spray and jet testing, including sealed optic and gland integrity.
Finish Inspection
Colour match against the approved RAL or PVD sample, coating thickness and trim alignment checked per unit.
