The exterior step and pathway LED light with round faceplate is a durable architectural fixture designed as a direct replacement for the former Winona Step11, providing consistent, controlled lighting for outdoor steps, walkways, and pathway areas. The step light utilizes a concealed optic to create smooth, visually comfortable illumination and is available in eleven static LED color options, including five white color temperatures ranging from 2700 K to 5000 K, as well as six colored options, including Amber (limited wavelength), Blue, and Red. Each fixture produces between 35 and 45 lumens with an 80 CRI, delivering clear, accurate color rendering across both white and colored light applications. Suitable for wet locations, the fixture carries a c-UL-US listing for North American markets, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and architectural exterior applications.
The optical system includes a concealed reflector with extruded clear acrylic lens, directing light in three distribution patterns—Short for narrow corridors, Medium for wider pathways, and Long for large area coverage—allowing precise control over step and pathway lighting while minimizing glare. The recessed surfaces feature a ribbed design with a matte black finish to reduce visual glare. Lighting control is provided through standard 0-10V dimming, allowing adjustment down to 5%, with an integral electronic driver supporting input voltages from 120 to 277 V at 50–60 Hz. Electrical performance includes total harmonic distortion under 20% and power factor greater than 0.90, with compliance to FCC CFR Title 47 Part 15, Class B at 120 V and Class A at 277 V EMI noise rating.
Constructed with a die-cast housing and solid aluminum, brass, or stainless steel faceplate, the fixture combines durability with aesthetic flexibility. Two visible fasteners secure the faceplate, and the fixture mounts semi-recessed over a Steel City CX single gang deep junction box or an equivalent Hydrel-provided back box. The step light is suitable for concrete pour applications when the BB option is chosen. Faceplates are available in four metal finishes with protective clear coating or four polyester powder coat painted finishes, allowing integration with a wide variety of architectural designs.
The HSL11 round faceplate step light operates on a single electrical circuit and provides long-term performance for wet location environments. Its combination of integral driver, concealed optics, multiple LED color options, and 0-10V dimming makes it a flexible solution for outdoor steps, pathways, and corridor lighting. The product qualifies under the Buy American Act (BAA), DOT Buy America regulations, and the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), confirming it as a domestically produced fixture. The fixture comes with a five-year limited warranty, which is the only warranty provided, with all other express or implied warranties disclaimed.
