Outdoor Step Lights

Lighting a staircase at night is an incredibly forgiving design element. Whether it’s your front entry stairways, your kids’ garden entry stair, or deck stair lights to highlight the evening entertaining space, properly lit outdoor steps can make each step a solid, confident, safe, and satisfying step in the right direction. And Best Buy Lighting carries the top rated outdoor step light to bring you that kind of quality step lighting.

With a carefully curated selection of exterior step lightings designed for Australian conditions, we make it easy to find the right fit for your home, all available to order online with Australia wide delivery.

Why Outdoor Step Lights Matter More Than You Think

When planning an outdoor lighting design it’s easy to overlook the stair lights. But really stair lights for exterior stairs are one of the smartest lighting investments you can make. Stairs left in the dark are one of the leading causes of trips and falls around the home, affecting children, the elderly, and guests alike. But a few well placed stair lights can solve the problem and eliminate tripping hazards around the home, without having to resort to bright and often harsh overhead lighting.

While safety is obviously a huge consideration when choosing stair lights for outside use, these kinds of lights can also greatly enhance the look of an outside space at night. A cleverly placed row of LED step lights can create a stunning impression and beautifully light up a staircase or path, creating an elegantly designed outdoor space after dark.

Explore Our Outdoor Step Lights Range

Our outdoor step lights come in a range of styles, materials and colours, catering to all types of Australian homes, landscaping and outdoor areas. Whether you are after a minimal, modern design, a marine grade step light for a coastal environment, or a warm toned look to fit in with traditional surroundings, we have an outdoor step light to meet your needs.

Eyelid Step Lights

One of the most popular exterior stair light options across Australia are the step lights known as Eyelid step lights. With the unique focal beam, the light from the Eyelid downlights is directed down and focused directly on the stairs in front, providing optimal vision of each step without causing glare. This fitting is really a neat option for exterior staircases because it can be either flush mounted into the riser or timber wall and fits snugly against the wall providing a sleek look on both rendered and brick facades. Available in finishes including black, stainless steel, and antique brass, eyelid style LED step lights from brands like Havit Lighting suit a wide variety of home styles from contemporary to classic.

Louvered and Recessed Step Lights

For a more architectural and design focused approach, louvered and recessed outdoor step lights offer a clean geometric aesthetic suitable for modern homes and landscape enhancements. These step lights reside within the wall surface and cast light through a louvered or slotted face, providing a layered lighting effect to enhance the staircase. A number of leading brands, including Domus Lighting and Superlux, offer a range of high quality step lights suitable for this type of application.

Brick and Surface Mounted Step Lights

Surface mounted and brick style exterior step lights are ideal for those looking for a versatile and easy to install product. They can be fitted to the face of a step riser or wall, requiring no cavity or reveal which makes them suitable for both retrofit and new build projects. Surface step lights offer a variety of size, finish and wattage options from leading manufacturers including SAL, Eglo Lighting and CLA Lighting.

What to Look for When Choosing Exterior Step Lights

Selecting the right outdoor step lights for your home is straightforward once you know what to consider.

IP Rating: All exterior stair lights need to have a minimum IP rating of IP65, meaning they are dust tight and can withstand water from any angle, including powerful water jets. For lights for steps outside, it is important that they can withstand the elements such as rain, watering of plants and spray from sea air.

Voltage: There are step lights that operate from 240V mains power but most operate from 12V DC such as the Pinta range of step lights. These require a suitable LED driver but they offer added safety for use in wet or outside locations. Remember to check the voltage requirement before you buy and have the product installed by a licensed electrician.

Finish and Material: We have a selection of finishes available to co-ordinate with your home's exterior. Black is a great choice if your home has modern or industrial features, antique brass is classic and heritage, while stainless steel is perfect for coastal homes where corrosion resistance is key.

Colour Temperature: If ambience and flexibility matter to you, look for a tri colour CCT LED step light that allows you to switch between warm, natural, and cool light tones after installation.
