FAQs
Does this light come with a transformer?
No, the Davey Louvred Cast Brass Step Light requires a separate low-voltage transformer, which is sold as an accessory.
Can this light be used outdoors?
Yes, this light is suitable for outdoor use and can also be used in bathrooms.
What type of bulb does this light use?
This is a low voltage light and typically uses a low voltage halogen or LED bulb. Please refer to the product's specific electrical details or consult the manual for exact bulb type and wattage.
How is this light installed?
The light is designed for surface mounting. You will need to fix it to the desired surface (e.g., step riser, wall) and connect it to a low-voltage transformer.
What are the finish options for this light?
This specific model is in a 'Weathered Brass' finish. Other finishes like natural brass may be available for similar models.
Is the brass finish maintenance-free?
The 'Weathered Brass' finish is designed to age naturally and requires minimal maintenance. The 'Natural Brass' finish may benefit from occasional cleaning to maintain its luster.
Can I use this light to illuminate a large area?
For larger areas, you will need to ensure your low-voltage transformer has sufficient wattage capacity to power multiple lights and that the lights are spaced appropriately for optimal coverage.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Verify that the low-voltage transformer is properly connected to mains power and the light. Check all wiring connections for security. Ensure the transformer has sufficient wattage and is functioning correctly. Confirm the light bulb (if applicable) is correctly seated and functional.
Flickering light
Check for loose wire connections at the light fixture or transformer. The transformer may be underpowered for the number of lights connected; consider a higher wattage transformer. Ensure the bulb is securely in place.
Corrosion or tarnishing on brass
For weathered brass, this is a natural part of the finish. For natural brass, clean gently with a soft cloth. A specialized brass cleaner can be used if desired, following the cleaner's instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Transformer Connection: This light operates on low voltage and *requires* a separate low-voltage transformer (sold separately) to convert mains voltage. Connect the transformer to your mains power supply according to its instructions.
Wiring: Connect the low-voltage output of the transformer to the step light's wiring. Ensure all connections are secure and weatherproof, especially for outdoor installations.
Mounting: Mount the light fixture directly onto the desired surface (e.g., stair riser, wall) using appropriate fixings. Ensure the surface is clean and stable.
Compatibility:
Compatible with 12V or 24V low-voltage halogen or LED transformers. Check the specific requirements of your chosen transformer.
Requires a transformer with sufficient wattage to power all connected lights.
Care:
For weathered brass, minimal cleaning is usually required as the finish is designed to age naturally.
For natural brass, clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. A brass cleaner can be used sparingly if needed, following product instructions.
Periodically check wiring connections for security and corrosion, especially in outdoor or damp environments.
