The Stow SQ is an 83mm square recessed stair light 3W,three switchable colour temperatures, into a 75mm cut-out in titan, white or silver.

The output changes with the colour you choose

A detail worth having, and our record does not carry it:200lm at 3000K, 220lm at 4000K, 240lm at 5000K.LEDs are more efficient at cooler temperatures, so the warm setting isabout 17% dimmer than the cool one. On a stair that is not a problem but if youare calculating a run, use the figure for the setting you will actually use.

The cut-out is recorded 75mm square, 70mm deep

Worth noting, because several step lights in this range publish no cut-out at all. An83mm fitting into a 75mm hole, needing 70mm ofdepth behind it check that depth against a solid or shallow wall before you commit,because it is the figure that stops a job.

Only 18mm proud

18mm of fixture height above the wall. At foot level on a stair, a fitting thatbarely stands out is far less likely to be scuffed or caught.

Three colours, chosen at installation

3000K warm, 4000K neutral or 5000K cool, set on the fitting ratherthan fixed by order code. On a stair used at night, warm disturbs dark-adapted eyes farless which is a good reason to accept the slightly lower output.

Titan, white or silver

Titan is the unusual one a warm grey-bronze that suits stone and timberbetter than plain silver does. All three in aluminium with a polycarbonate diffuser.

IP20 indoor stairs only. Not rated for an external stepor a porch. The warranty is also stated as three years or 25,000 hours, so afitting left on continuously reaches the hours limit in under three years.

Where it works

• Indoors only and check the 70mm depth.

Questions

How bright is it?

It depends on the colour you select 200lm at 3000K, 220lm at 4000K, 240lm at 5000K. Our record carries only the highest figure.

Why is the warm setting dimmer?

LEDs are more efficient at cooler temperatures, so warm is about 17% down on cool. On a stair that is not a problem, but use the right figure if you are calculating a run.

What size hole does it need?

75 75mm, with 70mm of depth behind it. Check that depth against a solid or shallow wall before you commit it is the figure that stops a job.

How far does it stick out?

18mm. At foot level on a stair, barely standing proud means it is far less likely to be scuffed or caught.

Which colour should I use on a stair?

Warm at 3000K it disturbs dark-adapted eyes far less at night, which is a good reason to accept the slightly lower output.

Can it go on an outdoor step?

No. It is IP20 internal stairs only.

What is the warranty?

Three years or 25,000 hours, whichever comes first. A fitting left on continuously reaches the hours limit in under three years.
