Wend is a slim horizontal slot of light that guides every step.
The Design Story
Wend is drawn as a single horizontal line.
Its light falls down onto the tread, never into your eyes.
Why You'll Love It
It is subtle in stone, wood or stucco and makes stairs safe.
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 Wend?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a slim horizontal slot of light that guides every step. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Wend family.
Which Wend finish suits my exterior?
Our take: black gives a crisp, graphic outline; bronze is rich and moody.
Is the Wend bright enough?
That depends on the lamps you choose.
Can the Wend go in stair risers?
Yes, it recesses into a 4-inch junction box with plaster plate on a wall, or a 2 × 4 junction box in a step, so it suits stair risers and low walls.
Can the Wend 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 Wend?
No bulbs to change: the LED is built in and rated for 60,000 hours.
Is the Wend low voltage?
You choose: 12V (transformer sold separately) or 120V.
How soon can the Wend arrive?
All the versions we offer are in stock right now, and in-stock pieces usually leave within 2–3 business days.
