We recently completed a light commercial lighting project in the Inverness area outside of Birmingham. The project included architectural lighting to accent the facade of the building, landscape lighting and some pathway lighting to the entrance. One additional requirement was that the customer needed some step lighting to provide safety. The caveat was that the fixture needed to be low profile and unobtrusive, yet capable of illuminating a 15′ span.
The solution was a fixture manufactured by DG Lights. Their RC-200 is an LED recessed fixture that is only 1.5″ in diameter. It comes in a wide variety of finishes, and with an optional eyebrow designed to minimize glare. Since we were installing it on a concrete retaining wall, we chose natural brass with the eyebrow. Warm white was the selected LED color, and a 40 degree spread was chosen to adequately illuminate the steps.
The added bonus—the fixture is LED so it is rated for 50,000 hours!
