The exterior step and pathway LED light with rectangular faceplate is a direct replacement for the former Winona Step11, providing durable and reliable illumination for outdoor steps and pathways. The HYSTEP HSL11 Rectangle step light features a concealed optic that produces smooth, visually comfortable light, available in eleven static LED colors, including five white options ranging from 2700 K to 5000 K and six colored choices such as Amber (limited wavelength), Blue, and Red. Each fixture produces between 35 and 45 lumens, with a CRI of 80, ensuring accurate color rendering across both white and colored options. The light is suitable for wet locations and carries a C-UL-US listing, making it ideal for exterior applications that require consistent performance in harsh weather conditions.
The fixture incorporates integral LED driver electronics, supporting input voltages from 120 V to 277 V and 50-60 Hz operation, with total harmonic distortion (THD) under 20% and power factor exceeding 0.90. Lighting control is provided via standard 0-10V dimming, allowing dimming down to 5%, offering precise adjustment of step and pathway illumination. The HYSTEP HSL11 employs a concealed optical system available in three distribution patterns—Short for narrow corridors, Medium for wider corridors, and Long for expansive area coverage—ensuring optimal light placement and minimal glare. The extruded clear acrylic lens is housed within the reflector, directing light efficiently while concealing the LED source from view.
Constructed from a die-cast housing paired with solid aluminum, brass, or stainless steel faceplates, the HYSTEP HSL11 combines durability with aesthetic flexibility. Two visible fasteners secure the faceplate, while the fixture mounts semi-recessed over a deep junction box, such as a Steel City CX single-gang box, or optionally via a Hydrel-provided back box. This mounting system accommodates concrete pour installations when the BB option is selected. The step light is available in Black, Bronze, Silver, and White finishes, complementing a wide range of exterior design schemes.
Electrical and optical performance are complemented by environmental resilience, with the fixture fully listed for wet locations. The HYSTEP HSL11 is a single-circuit luminaire, suitable for continuous use in exterior pathways, steps, and other architectural features. In compliance with U.S. government procurement standards, the fixture qualifies under the Buy American Act (BAA), DOT Buy America regulations, and the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), affirming its status as a domestically produced product. This combination of flexible color options, controllable dimming, and precise optical distributions makes the HYSTEP HSL11 Rectangle an effective, reliable, and visually appealing solution for exterior step and pathway lighting.
