Ikon is a square step light that lights treads, not eyes.
The Design Story
Ikon sits flush in a riser or low wall.
Its angled window directs light down where your feet go.
Why You'll Love It
It makes stairs safe and looks crisp in any material.
Made for Real Life
There are no bulbs to change: the LED is built in. Give it a rinse with mild soapy water now and then to keep the finish fresh. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV dimmer for evening light.

Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Ikon?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a square step light that lights treads, not eyes. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Ikon Step family.
Which Ikon finish suits my exterior?
Our take: black gives a crisp, graphic outline; bronze is rich and moody.
Is the Ikon bright enough?
That depends on the lamps you choose.
Can the Ikon go in stair risers?
Yes, it recesses into a 2 × 4 junction box (step riser or low wall), so it suits stair risers and low walls.
Can the Ikon handle storms and sprinklers?
Yes. It is wet listed (IP66), so it can live fully in the open, rain or shine.
Will I ever change a bulb in the Ikon?
No bulbs to change: the LED is built in and rated for 60,000 hours.
Is the Ikon low voltage?
You choose: 12V (transformer sold separately) or 120V.
How soon can the Ikon arrive?
Most versions ship within 2–3 business days. Bronze is on backorder (expected around November 3, 2026) and can be ordered now.
